Raven Myles graduated with a BA in Illustration with Honours at Edinburgh University 2023 creating children’s literature and illustrations that focus on caring for animals, children and for the environment.

"As an illustrator, I am passionate about creating artwork that celebrates the wonder of children’s literature. My work is inspired by family and the importance of preserving the world we live in. Through my illustrations, I aim to create a sense of warmth and curiosity that invites young readers to explore the world around them. I believe that children’s literature has the power to inspire empathy, compassion and an appreciation for caring for those in need. My illustrations often feature whimsical scenes that capture the imagination of the reader. My goal as an illustrator is to create work that I put my heart into and inspire children and families.

I have produced work outside of literature and designed a poster for the the short film “DIVAR (THE WALL)” for French film festival for the women empowerment theme in 2022. I have also taken part in exhibitions, and created work for the Edinburgh book festival. During the course of my degree I have been illustrating and developing a children’s book written by my late grandmother when I was a child. I have also been working on smaller comics and zines in between. I am so grateful for all of the opportunities that I have been given and I cannot wait to work on new projects in the future."
