Life and career A native of Colchester, Stewart studied illustration at Kingston University, from which she graduated in 2010, and is now based in London, United Kingdom.

She is best known for her so-called 'doodle-bombs' where she illustrates over magazine covers, as well as her playful and brightly coloured iconography.
