Felicity Byrne is an emerging illustrator who has always had a deep love for art, especially illustration.
She resides in Melbourne Australia but has deep country roots, growing up in Gippsland. This is where her creativity and love of drawing ignited.
She is excited that her lifelong dream of becoming an illustrator has started to take shape, with this book being her first.
Felicity absolutely adores being able to bring a story to life, connecting the emotion within stories, to her illustrations. Felicity particularly does so with the various use of light and perspective throughout her pieces.
