About the Author

Alice Oehr is an illustrator and designer from Melbourne, Australia. Her distinct colourful style reflects her love of food, pattern, collage and drawing. Her ideas have made their way onto textiles, books, shop windows, homewares and once even a series of 6-feet-tall Ancient Egyptian-style statues. Alice draws both for business and for pleasure, in both pixels and pencils, which has led her to teaching, speaking and writing on the subject. She believes drawing should be done for relaxation and for fun, at all ages and with abandon.
