Libby Harrison

Libby was born and raised in Johannesburg and studied fine art at the (then) Johannesburg College of Art. Libby has been “making art” for as long as she can remember, out of whatever materials she could find and created her first cartoon character at the age of five.

She worked in a graphic design studio for a few years after leaving college and then moved to Cape Town, where she’s lived ever since, working from home as an illustrator of children’s books, while bringing up her four children. Now she has the freedom to concentrate more on painting again, trying out all the new techniques she comes across, finding her way back into her art and carrying on the learning process.
