Mitch Vane (Illustrator)

About


Mitch Vane has had a long career working as an illustrator and artist. She is interested in all forms of visual story-telling using a variety of mediums but is at her happiest drawing with a good old-fashioned dip pen and Indian ink.
Mitch often collaborates with her partner Danny Katz – her cartoons appeared with his weekly humour column in The Age - and they have created many children's books together, including Aussie Bites - The Parents are Revolting and Big Bad Bunnies.
Mitch illustrated a series of 12 Zodiac themed stamps for Australia Post and has created many children's  books with publishers both in Australia and the U.S.
She works from her studio at home in Melbourne, and does illustration workshops and appearances at libraries and schools throughout the year.
