Livi Gosling biography

Livi Gosling is a British illustrator specialising in children’s non-fiction. Her portfolio includes work on books such as Women Who Dared: 52 Stories of Fearless Daredevils, Adventurers, and Rebels, where she provided illustrations for the biographies of historical women.

She studied illustration for three years at Falmouth University in Cornwall, graduating around 2012, and then moved into editorial and map illustration before focusing on non-fiction children’s book illustration.

One of her published children’s projects is Maps of the United Kingdom, released in October 2018 by Wide Eyed Editions (Quarto Kids). Her site credits Quarto and notes this as a major project in her publishing work.

Another commissioning collaboration is with the anthology Women Who Dared, created with author Linda Skeers; Gosling’s illustrations accompany short biographies of women across history.

Her author/illustrator agency page states that she specialises in illustrated maps and editorial work, and that her interests—cooking, walking and nature—frequently influence her creative process.

Her illustration of Maps of the United Kingdom was published in October 2018.
