Oliver Jeffers is a name known to millions across the globe. A massively successful and award winning children’s picture-book maker, he’s sold over ten million books which have been translated into over forty languages, such as ‘How to Catch a Star’, ‘Lost and Found’, and ‘The Incredible Book Eating Boy’
‘Lost and Found’ has already been turned into an award-winning animation and earlier this year Apple announced they would be working with Oliver on another of his books at the launch of their new video streaming service.

He’s also made a promotional video for U2 and did the artwork for their ‘Innocence and Experience’ tour. Bono, along with numerous other high profile names, is a fan.
Oliver is also a prolific and collectable fine artist, hungrily experimenting with media and form, and in recent times has become politically vocal through his regular postings on Instagram.

Born in Australia Oliver spent his childhood and young adulthood in Belfast before moving to New York around 12 years ago.
His workshop is in ‘The Invisible Dog’, an artist studio collective in Brooklyn, in an area where he lives with his wife Suzanne and their two children.

This is a very important year for Oliver, with the release of his latest book ‘The Fate of Fausto’ and the opening of several international solo exhibitions.
