Hi, I’m Thelma Knowlson and I am a freelance artist, writer and illustrator. 

I work in various mediums, including oils, watercolours and pastels.

I design greetings cards with BSL signs, including humorous and traditional.

I have written and illustrated a children’s book with BSL signs for both deaf and hearing children to read and enjoy. It’s titled Eva and the Christmas Pictures.
