Original picture book artwork by Alison Bartlett is available for purchase from Images of Delight.
Alison Bartlett lives in Bath where she was born 30 odd years ago.
She studied illustration at Anglia College of Art in Cambridge under Martin Salisbury. She then went onto Kingston College of Art, starting an MA course in illustration, but was to begin work sooner than expected with the publication of her first children’s book, Oliver’s Vegetables. Whilst at college, she was asked what her worst nightmare assignment would be. Having replied “a children’s book”, she was then promptly given the task of producing one. It was exhibited at the 1993 Macmillan Prize Exhibition, seen by an agent and published by Hodder the following year. It was then Highly Commended in the V&A; illustration Awards 1994. Hodder immediately went on to commission Alison to work on four further titles and she hasn’t looked back since.
She lives with her partner Nick and young son, Joel. They have two cheeky Jack Russell dogs that are black and white and look like tiny cows!
