Neil Hague is a UK artist, authorial  illustrator and lecturer, originally trained in graphics and book publishing.  Over the past fifteen years he has developed a unique style through his visionary expression of art and creativity - one that has  been described as both  spiritual and 'neo-shamanic' by people who have heard  him lecture or who have  seen his work.

Neil worked for Penguin Books, London where he designed book covers and interior text layout.  His clients include The Economist, Busch Gardens, and Sea World.  Neil's art was selected for Images, The Best of British Illustration, and for the Macmillan Book Illustration Award at the Royal College of Art 1993.

Inspired by native Earth peoples, universal symbols, archetypes, and a love of nature, he often links and expresses these sources within his work.
