Matt Sewell is an artist and author working across drawing, painting, and publishing. His work is rooted in close observation of the everyday natural world, particularly birds, rendered with an economical language of line, shape, and colour.

The artist was inspired by Beatrix Potter’s books and her illustrations of British country life. In particular he loved how she captured the story’s side characters in her paintings, especially the robin.
