Person
Livi studied illustration in Cornwall before returning to her hometown in Hertfordshire. Livi draws inspiration from travel, nature and food. When she isn't illustrating, you'll find her walking in the countryside, cooking or tending to her veg patch. After getting an allotment in 2019, she discovered a love of gardening that intensified during lockdown 2020. Her allotment was a safe haven throughout scary, uncertain times and Livi is very grateful for it. Livi has since moved on to building a kitchen garden in her new home and is passionate about gardening for wellbeing.
