Read below to find out more about our talented artist

Matt is an Ipswich born, award-winning author and illustrator of over 20 children’s books. His first picture book, ‘Super Stan’, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Book Prize and won the Dundee Children’s book prize in2017. In 2020 his first book in the highly successful ‘Do You Love?’ series was awarded the Sainsbury’s Children’s Book Award. Matt lives just outside Norwich in the village of Brooke with his wife Amy and their naughty but purrfect cat, Charlie.

“It’s a privilege to be involved in this year’s ‘Hop To it’ art trai in Ipswich, in aid of St Elizabeth’s Hospice. Ten years ago, I got to experience the care and passion that all the staff give towards all their patients at the Hospice as it was here that my Mum spent her last hours of her life. It’s such an honour to have been selected to create a piece of art that will not only benefit the Hospice but also bring visitors to the town.”
