Serena Geddes

Serena Geddes is an international children's book author and illustrator based in Sydney. She has illustrated over seventy titles for picture books and middle grade readers and is about to step into the colourful world of graphic novels. Growing up a reluctant reader, Serena found her brother's comic collection the perfect escape and encourages reluctant readers to read through her illustrations and use of visual imagery. 

Some of her works include We are Matildas, the Lulu Bell, Pepper Creek Ponies series and Hope is a Spark. In her spare time, she captures her life through sketches and comics, seeks out humour in her week and teaches illustration and mindfulness journaling. As a Disney artist she worked on sequels to the Lion King, Peter Pan, The Little Mermaid and Jungle Book which has enabled her to capture emotion and movement with her characters. 

Serena works both digitally and traditionally in watercolour and pencil.
