I'm AJ! The illustrator behind Amelina Jones Illustrations, I  work with a focus on children's literature. I was born in 1996 in England, growing up I loved creating stories with my siblings and drawing all the characters from those adventures. I have always been a country girl and love looking at the small details in nature for inspiration in my work. I love working on picture books as well as illustrations for middle-grade fiction, falling into each story and seeing them come alive on my paper will always be my favourite thing. I have been working in the professional world of illustrations for five years and had the honour to work with publishers and on projects around the world. 

                                                                        

I work on detailed, colourful paintings to enhance and help tell a story, with an intent to capture lots of emotions, ages, nationalities and nature in my illustrations. Watercolour and ink are my preferred medium as I love the freedom it gives me as well as the natural textures and energy it exudes from the paper. 

​

I love storytelling and I believe that stories, particularly the ones we share with our children are one of the oldest forms of teaching in our history as humans. We have created stories since we began, sharing our values and beliefs through the adventures of our heroes and their journeys.

I hope you enjoy looking around my portfolio and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me.
