Clover Brown (she/they) uses traditional illustration techniques - hand-drawing, watercolor on paper, gouache, pen and ink - to craft thoughtful illustrations.

They are interested in crafting tender, process-based art, in healing stories, in art as activism. They love to marry their many interests: herbalism, children’s books, social justice, playfulness and magic in their art and life.

With a background of children’s book illustration, as well as in teaching young children from an anti-bias lens, Clover is very interested in the intersection of art, activism, inquiry and social change. Clover is a Queer, disabled & neurodivergent writer, artist, illustrator and maker. They are deeply interested in nature connection, education, books, magical & spiritual practices, social/ disability justice and gender, and write about these subjects in many places.

In 2019 Clover self published their first zine Plant Friends Vol. 1, and 2020 Clover illustrated their first children’s book (as yet to be published) about a non-binary child going through their day practicing and experiencing consent and body autonomy in their many choices and activities, imaginary world and connections. Practicing consent with children and modeling that behavior in front of them is a way to empower everyone in “small stakes” choices, which have implications of being empowered and aware when a breech in trust or body autonomy happens.

2020 also saw the self-publication of Plant Friends Vol. 2, beautifully rendered in watercolor. In 2021 they published their longer embodiment zine Rooted; all of which can be found at Clover’s storefront: Fantastic Lily.
