About

Eirinn McGuinness is an illustrator and writer who specialises in children’s books.

Unable to decide which she loved more – words or pictures­– Eirinn chose a career that would allow her to blend those two worlds together. After studying for a BA in English literature at the University of Exeter, Eirinn went on to complete her MA in Illustration at Arts University Bournemouth, where she graduated in 2022. Inspired by the everyday, she loves to tell stories that explore themes of human behaviour and familial relationships.
