Jo Beasley lives in Auckland and works as a freelance illustrator.

 

She has illustrated two picture books, The Terrakeet and The Frumpling both with Walker Books Australia. She has two grown-up children and an utterly spoilt dog and cat. She is mad about animals and loves long walks through the bush with her dog Winnie. Jo likes to work in watercolour and ink and when time allows she keeps a sketchbook for capturing the simple beauty in her everyday life. Jo can be found on Instagram @jobeasleyillustration

​

Topics her books focus on:

The Terrakeet—bravery, taking a chance and friendship

The Frumpling—empathy, charity and the transformative power of a good wash
