About the Author

Illustrator: Judy Wilson is an artist and illustrator, originally from the UK, now living in Mexico City. She creates artwork for all manner of books: search and find, activity and coloring. She draws cute, whimsical characters with bright fun colors. Her illustration process begins with hand drawn art in a sketchbook, then designing art digitally, and more recently adding in hand drawn textures to pieces. She has taken courses specializing in children's illustration and narrative storytelling. She was runner up in the London Art College competition with a giant gouache and watercolor illustration titled 'Tree Of Life', filled with over a hundred animals. She's currently expanding her studies, by undertaking courses in art therapy.
