SANCHI ARORA

Hello!

I’m Sanchi, an illustrator and visual storyteller based in England.

I graduated from Nottingham Trent University with an MA in Illustration, and my practice centres on storytelling, emotion and creating images that invite genuine connection.

My work spans children’s books, narrative illustration and editorial projects. I have developed two humorous children’s books and am currently developing a silent picture book exploring children’s mental health. Alongside my personal projects, I work as a freelance illustrator across a range of briefs and commissions.

My work has been featured in publications including The Indian Periodical, and I have created artwork for NUH Hospital Trust’s maternity ward. I have also collaborated with Settle Stories and illustrated for an adult self-help book.

Storytelling sits at the heart of my practice. I am interested in the quiet moments, emotions and relationships that make a story feel human - whether those stories are told through words, images, or both.

Outside illustration, I read, write and occasionally perform poetry. My short story was selected for the winning anthology of the Red Postbox Creative Writing Competition, and writing continues to influence the way I approach visual storytelling.

Available for commissions, collaborations and publishing opportunities.
