Fiona Lumbers (Illustrator)
Fiona Lumbers has drawn on anything and everything from an early
age and always insisted she would be an artist when she grew up.
Fiona moved to London in 2000 to study for an MA in Painting at the
Royal College of Art. A combination of her obsession with picture
books and the arrival of her first son led her down the path of
illustration and she hasn't looked back since. Nothing makes her
happier than splashing watercolours and inks and conjuring up new
characters - often influenced by the exploits of her two sons.
"Not all families look the same –and that is a great message to
celebrate."
*Laura Dockrill*
"This is a subtle story that does not just introduce a young
audience to some of the most iconic works of modern and
contemporary art, it is also about the stories even children
hide."
*Books for Keeps*
"Readers will love this introduction to art as enjoyed by Luna and
her classmates"
*LoveReading4Kids - Pick of the Month July 2020*
"Will prove a fantastic resource in the classroom... Books like
this are vital in bringing these opportunities closer to home and
the curriculum to life"
