Annabel Tempest loves her job--nothing makes her happier than creating patterns, drawing characters, cutting, sticking and coloring in. During her career she has illustrated everything from children's books and greetings cards to maps and packaging. She lives in England in deepest, darkest Somerset. She has a home full of boys--a big one, some small ones and a couple with waggy tails! Annabel is bursting with ideas and gets very excited about working on new pictures.
