I am an illustration artist from the Southwest of England. Currently based in Cornwall, U.K.

For commissions or correspondences please email me at joe_lyward@hotmail.co.uk

I like to explore a broad range of ideas and approaches to image making and communication. Working across illustration, picturebook making, design, curatorial projects, community art projects and education.

For arts education, see some previous projects on my Artist-Educator page.
