Hello! It’s lovely to meet you!

My name is Annabelle and I'm an author/illustrator based in Melbourne Australia. I love drawing, dancing and spending time outdoors in nature. 

I work both digitally, and using various traditional media. I love using bright colours and creating fun characters and stories that kids (and adults!) can find humour in. I'm passionate about environmental issues and often incorporate our native animals and plants in my work.

If you have any questions I'd love to hear from you, so please feel free to contact me.
