Author and illustrator Sherin Aminossehe moved from Iran to England as a child, training as an architect. She is now the Ministry of Defence’s first Director of Infrastructure. She has been drawing since she could hold a pencil, and recently published the book The Road Untravelled, a Covid lockdown project for charity, wherein she took requests for drawings of longed-for destinations from London to Nepal, providing imaginary escape when no one could travel.
