Suzanne Simpson
Suzanne's first drawing consisted of a sun, house, and sky much like the other kids, but everything had a face and expression turning the drawing into a story.
Following her chosen path, she graduated from her 3-year Fine Art (majoring in Illustration) course at The Foundation School of Art in South Africa with the ability to portray a vast array of human forms and cultures in her own illustrative style (and with two published children's books under her belt).
Today, her job titles include Illustrator, Digital Artist, Storyboard, and Fine Artist. Publishers featuring her work in New Zealand/ Australia include Oratia Books, Cengage Learning, Wendy Pye Publishers, Gilt Edge, Weldon Owen, and Scholastic.
She is known for her colourful, expressive characters that err on the side of stylised realism and has been illustrating (using either Photoshop, Illustrator, or Sketchbook) for over 25 years back when Macs were the size of most briefcases.
As Albert Einstein once said, 'Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.'
