ABOUT

Salomey is a self-taught freelance author-illustrator from Leeds, England. Originally trained in architecture, in which she worked for over 3 years, she started watercolour painting in 2018 and quickly fell in love with the art of storytelling. An ardent lover of kids books and bubble tea, she is inspired by her diverse community, the natural world, and all things bright and beautiful.

​

When she is not drawing, she is either daydreaming, going on long walks around Yorkshire, jetting off on international city breaks, at church, or talking to her pet hedgehog Strawberry.

​​

Salomey judged the Queen's Knicker's Picture Book Award for 2024, and as an alumni of Nottingham Trent University, has participated as a guest on panels, and run portfolio reviews as part of their Creative Futures 2025 event.
