About the Artist

Oliver Jeffers

Oliver Jeffers makes art and tells stories—fine art for (mostly) adults, and picture books for (mostly) children. As a visual artist and author working in painting, bookmaking, illustration, collage, performance, and sculpture, curiosity and humor are underlying themes throughout Oliver's practice as an artist and storyteller.

Jeffers' original artwork has been exhibited at museums and institutions across the globe. He has had multiple solo shows in galleries in London and New York, and is represented by the world-renowned gallery, Praise Shadows Art Gallery, in Boston, MA. Varying between figurative painting, naive folk-like line work, which is often tied together with his distinctive handwriting, Jeffers' work is instantly recognisable. Themes for his art-making include perspective shifts, memory and mortality, the power of community and story, and the imaginary lines across the land and in the sky.
