Rachael McLean is a children’s illustrator living on the east coast of Australia, with one of the world’s most beautiful beaches as her backyard. Growing up by the sea, her days were filled with bright blue skies and hours whiled away drawing cute characters in her sketchbook. These days Rachael is inspired by bright colours and all things whimsical, she loves to draw with clean shapes and bold colours, infused with subtle textures to create playful designs.

Rachael’s been storytelling through her drawings her whole life. Her illustrations can be found all over the world on pretty products and beautiful publications and she loves when people smile at an illustration she’s created. Most days you’ll find Rachael with my two rescue pups by her side and a nice cup of tea, making art and enjoying the best job in the world.
