Mandy holds a Bachelor of Design specialising in Illustration from the University of South Australia. In 2009 she discovered a passion for illustration in children's books. After a wonderful collaboration with major publisher, Hachette Australia, her first picture book was an Australian version of 'The Wheels on the Bus', released later that same year. A stickler for meeting deadlines, consequently she frequently looks like this pelican....
So ecstatic to share a recent collaboration with Australia's oldest family-owned chocolate maker making fine chocolates from the cocoa bean since 1915, Haigh's Chocolates.
An icon in South Australia and the best chocolate ever!
My thanks to John at Monarto Zoo for taking me behind the scenes in order to spend time with their Bilbies and gather my research to produce the illustrations for this range. Available from all Haigh's stores and online from their website. It was an absolute honour and pleasure to work with the Haigh's team in order to create these gorgeous new products.
