Bea is a freelance illustrator and Mama Bear based in London.

If you see a bright pink colour against a dark green background combined with some florals and a pinch of quirkiness, the chances are high you landed on her work. Bea’s illustration career started off drawing her daughter Soley and herself as a Bear (Bea), this is when the moniker and brand name Soley and the Bear was born.

Diversity, female empowerment and climate change are very important topics to her personally and returning themes in her illustrations. Bea’s clients include Flow Magazine, Cartoon Network, arsEdition, Red Aspen and others.
