Jules Marriner lives and works on the Isle of Wight, UK. She has been working as an illustrator since 1995 and draws her inspiration from the sea and landscape surrounding her. Flossie Bonce is the name her Mum used to call her when she was a little girl. She also quite likes parsnips and Father Christmas. Otherwise, there is no connection. In her spare time, Jules likes to save worms from pavements on rainy days and comb twigs and leaves out of her naughty chihuahua's ear hair.
