the Relaxation Rainbow
The brief: To design and illustrate a book of relaxations aimed at children aged 4-12. The book offers a series of nine guided visualizations, each focusing on yoga, breathwork, as well as the colors of the rainbow – inviting the reader on a soothing and nurturing journey.
This was a wonderful project to be involved with — a beautifully written book of relaxation exercises for children, needing illustrations and a design that would feel calm, playful, and engaging for young readers.
I used a gentle, dreamy illustration style combining hand drawn and digital techniques, each illustration evoking the essence of its rainbow colour and the nature of the relaxation exercises.

”Ruth and I have worked together on several projects during the past few years from DVDs, to advertisements and websites. Most recently Ruth did the art work for my book, Guided Relaxation. Ruth is an incredibly talented artist and quite simply a joy to work with. She is very professional and doesn’t get flustered by tight deadlines. She has great ideas and is obviously very creative with amazing attention to detail. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.”
