| Biography/history |
Gabriel Evans grew up in a country town in the South West of W.A. At the age of 14, he started his art career as a cartoonist for a newspaper and picked up his first book contract with an indie publisher at the age of 17. He has since teamed up with acclaimed Australian and USA authors and received two notable Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Book of the Year nominations. Gabriel's illustrations are made with a mixture of watercolour, gouache, pencil and ink on paper. He has illustrated over fifteen children's books. |
