All about me

"I love creating illustrations that tell a story. I get inspiration from my boy-heavy offspring, a 70s childhood full of comics, books and drawing, and the silliness, wonder and humour in the everyday."

Sue Rinaldi is a children's illustrator inspired by the whimsical, imaginary world of childhood. She trained as a violinist at the Royal College of Music and worked in the publishing department of the BBC Proms for several years. Her first love of illustration resurfaced years later when she started her family. Commissions include work for the BBC Proms and London Symphony Orchestra, the charity Music In Hospitals & Care and a set of Christmas card designs for the Royal School of Church Music. Passionate about children's picture books, she has taken part in Nina Rycroft's Picture Book Illustration Course and has worked on three titles by self-publishing authors ('Is That Really Santa Claus?' by Clare Thompson and 'The Butterfly that Couldn't Fly' and 'Lenny's Rockpool Adventure' by Suzie Brown). Her first picture book as author-illustrator, Suzie Blush, has recently been published by Clavis Publishers.
