Though she is a recent graduate of the illustration program at the University of West England, Kate Barley’s style has a mature feel.
She takes inspiration in the work of great Golden Age illustrators like Kay Nielsen, Edmund Dulac and Harry Clarke, with a bit of Aubrey Beardsley and perhaps a touch of early 20th century New Yorker cartoonists thrown in for good measure.
When looking through her website portfolio, be aware that though clicking on the images themselves simply advances to the next image, there are text links to the left for viewing the larger versions, which I recommend to really appreciate her work.
There is also a quick sampler of larger images from The Olive Fairy Book on the cizgili masallar blog.
