About the Illustrator: Kimberley Coffey

I am a Melbourne based visual artist and first-time mother. Lover of pandas and everything winter. Especially snowflakes! I find my inspiration from Disney, Anime and anything cute and bright. Drawing has been my passion since I was three years of age and it's a dream to share my art with the world through Shawline's books!
