Kelly Canby is an author, illustrator and artist based in Western Australia.
Her work explores life, humour, melancholy and the mildly absurd, through colour, character and emotion.
She often works intuitively, following an idea until it finds its final shape. Her books and writing are about moments (big and small), feelings (good and bad), and all the places in between. She is easily affected by mood, atmosphere, unusual poses and human expression in the best possible way.
She works from her home studio in Perth, where days are spent drawing, writing, drinking coffee and thinking, with studio dog Tex by her side.
