Hello..

Belle & Boo heads up a collection of artworks from the imagination of illustrator Mandy Sutcliffe*.

Belle & Boo are two of Mandy’s favourite characters. Belle with her bobbed hair, bright eyes and wearing vintage clothing, is insistently curious about the world  around her, and based on elements of Mandy as a child.

With her magical imagination Mandy was always surrounded by friends, and together they fulfilled many a daydream. So when creating Belle she gave her Boo - Belle’s adorable bunny rabbit companion and confidant.

A contemporary twist on vintage charm..

Mandy’s deceptively simple and stylish images capture vividly those precious moments in time enjoyed by children. Whether it be feeding the birds and animals,hugging a tree or simply sharing a story with a friend, the experience conveyed is always pure, and often set in natural environments.

Belle & Boo are more than just two..

Discover the many delightful worlds Mandy creates. Picture book landscapes full of pretty little children, playful creatures and dreamy colours, invoking memories and a nostalgia for childhood.

Meet little girls such as Mia and Ava, two children from beautiful and fanciful places, united through their shared sense of innocence and intrigue.

 

 
 

A little something about Mandy..

Mandy studied illustration at Leeds Metropolitan University, during which time she went on a university exchange trip to France. It was here that Mandy’s love for illustrating children truly blossomed as she spent many an hour in the Parisian parks drawing the beautiful French children.
To date Mandy has had three books published, one of which she wrote as well as illustrated. Like a child Mandy never stops drawing and developing and now spends her time building her Belle & Boo collection in London.

*Mandy Sutcliffe’s publications include Evie’s Seaside Lullaby and Goodnight Me, Goodnight You published by Orchard Books and Night Ride To Nanna’s published by Walker Books.
