Alison Mutton studied illustration and design at Curtin University and has been illustrating books for kids big and small since 2008. She works from a tiny studio in her back yard, supervised by her dog Myrna, and when she’s not drawing she likes to play the piano, needle felt and dance the Lindy Hop. With Lisa Van Der Wielen, Alison won the 2022 SCBWI Spark Award for best picture book for ‘Little Dune’. ‘Looking for Lily’ with Kristy Nita Brown won second place in the CYA Conference Younger Readers Chapter Book category and was nominated for the 2023 WAYBRA Book Awards. Alison enjoys the challenge of illustrating books on varied topics, bringing author’s words to life and learning new things with each project.
