Alex Heslop is a illustrator & printmaker living and working next to the river Teifi in Cardigan. Dreamy. She graduated from Aberystwyth University in 2008 with a BA (First Class Honours) in Fine Art & Art History, specialising in print and the history of book illustration. Since university, she has worked for the fine people at the British Museum (prints and drawings) and currently works part-time at The Do Lectures, organising the lectures and occasionally contributing a drawing or two.

In other news, she has had a pig called Myfanwy (RIP), enjoys hanging out on reclamation yards and is quite partial to paper-based paraphernalia.

A few of her heros include: Thomas Bewick, J.E. Millais, Ancient Greeks, captain caaaveman and this guy. Hats off.

She blogs here & here.

Some of her prints are on display at The University of Arizona, The National Library of Wales and The University of Aberystwyth.

NB: Despite her androgynous name, she is indeed a lady.
