Although, Verity is now an illustrator, this has not always been her main occupation. For a long time, she worked in schools as an Early Years worker and TA. However, creativity has always been a part of her life, and she has found ways to use her artistic talents wherever she has been. For a long time, she says she lacked the confidence to truly pursue illustration as a career. The turning point for her came with motherhood, which seemed to have a profound effect on her self-assurance. Now she wishes to bring stories to life wherever she can.
