Libby Hathorn is Australian. She read voraciously as a child. The beach and the bush have had a big influence on her, and even now she cannot imagine living too far from the beach. Greg Rogers was born in 1957 in Brisbane, Australia. He studied Fine Art at the Queensland College of Art, and had his first major exhibition in 1983, the year in which he won the SGIO Art Award for photography. He illustrated his 1st book in 1988. Has won a number of awards for his pencil work, but likes to work with pastels, ink and watercolour too.
