Sophie Beer is an award-winning illustrator/author living in Brisbane, Australia. She completed a dual degree in Law and Creative Industries with distinction at Queensland University of Technology but now works primarily in children’s and editorial illustration. Revelling in colour, shape and texture, she lives by one simple rule: art should never be boring.
