ILLUSTRATOR

Trained at the Brisbane College of Art in Graphic Design, Bronwyn has worked professionally in the art field for more than 25 years starting as a graphic artist and moving on to exhibition design and illustration.

Bronwyn spent 18 years working at the Queensland Museum designing displays and illustrating museum publications, including the Sciencentre's picture book VELVET THE FLYING GECKO. Bronwyn also illustrated Patricia Kennedy's PRINCESS LILA which was published by Greater Glider.

With her writer husband Rick, Bronwyn has illustrated 2 children's picture books. Rick's story for SLAM DUNK TIM is based on the difficulties that their son had when he was only 7 years old by meeting the challenge of the slam dunk. FOLLOW ME was drawn from personal family experiences after rescuing a baby fig tree from a brick wall. It is a lovely narrative with an ending of great hope. Both books were published by Random House and Scholastic respectively.

Since leaving the Museum in 2001, Bronwyn has been freelancing as an illustrator, with regular commissions from John Wiley Publishers, and focusing on her fine art through oil painting. She says that listening to classical and jazz music while she works completes the whole creative process and enriches her painting and drawings.
