Faye Stevens is an artist living in Leeds, West Yorkshire. After gaining a BA Hons degree in Applied Arts, she studied pattern cutting and dressmaking.
She has been working as a freelance illustrator and designer for over 10 years designing pop-up greeting cards, children's picture books and company branding.
Lily and the Yellow Umbrella is a joyful tale about a girl who sees the life in an old umbrella. The umbrella gets turned inside out, buffeted by the wind and rain, and even run over by a van. No matter how broken the umbrella gets, Lily thinks that it is an amazing find, which has lots of uses… By the end of the book, Lily even gives it new life by turning it into a new hat!
An uplifting and warm story, Lily and the Yellow Umbrella teaches children about resilience and recycling in a light and playful manner.

Luxury cards designed and handmade by Faye
Faye designs and creates innovative 3D greeting cards inspired by wildlife. Each card is a mini sculpture, and so becomes a small gift as well as a card. The cards are printed and cut in Yorkshire using ethically sourced materials, then hand assembled.
Faye believes that making cards should be done with kindness, because after all, cards are all about sending kindness.
