Children’s Laureate of Ireland, a 52-episode TV series produced by Disney and Brown Bag Films on the way, and award wins all over the place – this author/illustrator is on a roll. Her work is drenched in saturated colors, with bold brush strokes that define simple shapes, complimented with smart typography. Her most recent picture book, On the Road with Mavis and Marge won the Junior Book of the Year Award at The Irish Book Awards and was shortlisted for the Bisto Book of the Year Awards. She is an active member of Illustrators Ireland. A veteran of OFFSET’s second room, we’re stoked to welcome her to the Main Stage.
