Hello!

Welcome to my site and thank for looking! I'm Lisa - an illustrator based in Melbourne, Australia. I specialise in children's book illustration and have illustrated over 20 books for various publishers.

 

I absolutely love creating characters and their worlds, and bringing great stories to life.

​

My favourite mediums are coloured pencil, dry pastel, acrylic and watercolour paints - sometimes alone, sometimes and mix of any all or any of these. I also use Procreate on iPad Pro.

​

When I'm not drawing or painting, you will probably find me out on my bike (where I find plenty of inspiration), baking or patting cats - in fact, I will stop just about anywhere if I spy one! I also love trawling op shops and second hand places for any curiosites and bargains - especially vintage Australian snow domes to add to my collection of nearly 200. 

​

My most recent book, The Great Book Swapping Machine written by Emma Allen, published by The National Library of Australia is out now, and I have two secret books in the works right now!
