Daniel Gray-Barnett
Daniel Gray-Barnett is an award-winning illustrator and author who lives in the Huon Valley in lutruwita/Tasmania.
Self-taught, he studied Medical Science at the University of Sydney before swapping his microscope for pencils when he realised illustration had a much lower patient mortality rate. He now works across a range of projects with clients in advertising, editorial and publishing.
His first book Grandma Z won the Children’s Book Council of Australia award for Best New Illustrator. His other books he has illustrated include Katerina Cruikshanks, All the colours of our rainbow, Scaredy Bath and most recently Saturday is Pancake Day. When he’s not in the studio, he can be found daydreaming in the garden with his son and husband, German pointers, and chickens.
