Lily Uivel

After receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts, Lily found herself doing lots of odd jobs. But since before she could remember, she loved telling stories more than anything else. She would spend all of her spare time sketching and studying illustration.

When Lily and her partner Rory left their life in London and came home to New Zealand, Lily decided to give freelance illustration a chance. She is now the illustrator of many children’s books, and the author of Big Bang Bread, the first picture book which she has both written and illustrated.

Lily lives in Eastbourne with her assistant, She-Ra the dog, Rory and their little boy Reed.
