She holds a BA in international politics from King's College London, and performance diplomas for both the piano and violin from Trinity College London. Currently, she is a music teacher working with young children. She is passionate about creating beloved characters and imaginative stories. Working mainly in pastels and watercolour, Rae's illustrative style is bold and loose, yet meticulous when it comes to expressing moods and emotions.' (Hachette)
