Serena Geddes

Serena Geddes spent the last five years working as a children’s illustrator, which began with her first picture book in 2009, for a small publishing house in Sydney.

Prior to dabbling in the world of stories and picture books, she worked for Walt Disney Animation in Sydney with a fabulously mad group of talented artist on sequels to The Lion King, Peter Pan Return to Neverland, Lady and the Tramp and Jungle Book. Disney offered an intense 3-month training period as an entry level In-betweener. She gained most of her skills during this time, which has enabled her to illustrate fairly quickly using movement and expression.

Serena works traditionally and digitally, though most of her projects have been created using traditional methods with pencil, ink and watercolours.

Her most recent series are ‘Totally Twins’ (Sweet Cherry, UK) and ‘Lulu Bell’ (Random House Australia).
