A fast thinker and reactor, Arabella is able to inspire and encourage artists and publishers. She recognizes that setting up the best collaboration between a publisher and an artist is key.
Representing illustrators and authors both established and at the beginning of their careers, Arabella is particularly drawn to artwork with an immediate and unforgettable impact; individual, yet relatable characters and a narrative that shows and never tells.
