Hannah Dale

Hannah Dale is a multi-award-winning artist, illustrator and author, well known for her characterful and quirky watercolors of animals. Armed with a degree in Zoology from Cambridge University, she opted to paint the animals rather than study them and hasn’t looked back since.

Hannah established multi-award winning Wrendale Designs in 2012 and her designs now appear on a huge range of gift and homeware which are best-sellers across the globe. Wrendale is a certified B-Corporation.

Writing and illustrating picture books was a natural progression for Hannah, who lives in rural Lincolnshire with husband Jack, three children and a poodle named Elvis. Hannah is passionate about nature restoration and have been rewilding the family’s 300-acre farm since 2019.
