I was commissioned to illustrate Katie Taylor but when the person told me why he wanted Katie, I was blown away. He told me he wanted to have a portrait of Katie Taylor in his house to inspire his two young girls, that Katie is the good role model for them. I just love that. Having a young daughter, this really resonated with me.
It’s vital to encourage kids that it’s not about what clothes you wear, make-up, or the material things you have. It’s all about self-belief, working hard, being focused and being true to yourself. I couldn’t agree more that Katie Taylor is an inspiration to everyone. A legend.
