Heidi Burton

Heidi Burton is a British-Finnish illustrator based in Cambridge.

Her work is shaped by childhood nostalgia and a deep connection with the natural world, cultivated during summer adventures in Finland among the elves and forest folk.

As a keen observer of the ordinary, Heidi finds inspiration and humour in the minutiae of everyday life. She aims to capture a sense of childhood wonder by translating her curiosity into visual narratives.

Along with working as a freelance illustrator for many years, Heidi holds a BA (Hons) in Illustration from Kent Institute of Art and Design, and recently graduated with an MA in Children’s Book Illustration from Cambridge School of Art.
