The Artist
Sue Traynor
Illustration · Book Cover Art · Character Design
With a multi-disciplinary design degree and a career spanning illustration, book cover design, and character work, Sue Traynor brings story to the surface of every image.
Over 60 published book covers created for authors and publishers worldwide — from romance and literary fiction to mystery, thriller, and contemporary women's fiction. Each piece is built from the story outward: understanding narrative, tone, and audience before a single line is drawn.
The craft room is never quiet. A working studio practice alongside the commercial work means constant exploration — textile, ceramic, natural dye — a maker's curiosity that feeds back into the illustration.
Working Together
Commissions are open for book cover illustration, character design, and editorial work. Each project begins with a conversation — the story, the audience, the feeling a cover needs to carry.
