Rachel O'Mahony
(She/her)
Rachel is an illustrator based in the UK. After a radical career change, she now works as a freelance illustrator of children's books. Formerly, she was an NHS clinical psychologist for 12 years. Perhaps this is why she loves thinking about characters' reactions to one another and how the emotional landscape unfolds with the narrative.
The whirlwind of fun, colour, experimentation and mark-making - that is the Cambridge MA - has deepened her love of illustrating for children. Rachel enjoys pairing intense earthy palettes with saturated hues and balancing the playful with the dramatic. She loves lighthearted stories and quirky character interactions which carry important messages. Her inspiration often comes from her two young children and spending lots of time being very silly.
