As a girl in the happy land of St. Louis, Missouri, Violet Lemay was always drawing and making things with her hands. When she grew up, she became a costume and set designer and moved to New York City, which was a lot of fun. Even though she loved her work and living in NYC, Violet realized that her true dream was to illustrate books for children. She moved south to attend a school for illustrators. Since then, Violet has illustrated eighteen books for children (including Isabella's Shoe Studio, which she also wrote), with more on the way—mostly for duopress, her favorite publisher, for whom she also acts as art director.
Violet and her husband Fred have a 12-year-old son, Gray, who is a junior artist/architect/city planner, and is the joy of their lives. They all live together in a cozy little brick house in upstate New York, surrounded by mountains and dairy farms—and is only a short train-ride away from NYC.

Hello. I live in by the sea in Brighton in the UK and work from my home studio where my ideas are scribbled, inked, painted, scanned and Wacomed into existence. I call my way of working “digital collage.” Basically, this means I scribble out my ideas in my sketchbook and then scan them in to Photoshop where I take a Wacom to them to tidy it all up. I then add in a combination of digital colour, scanned textures, papers or fabrics and hand-painted swatches to bring it all to life. I studied Illustration at Kingston University, where I happened to find myself in the highly unusual situation of being nabbed by a publisher at my degree show in 2003. My first self-penned picture book, “Fish Don’t Play Ball”, was published by Meadowside Children’s Books in June 2004. My Second, “Munch”, followed in February 2005 and was long-listed for the Kate Greenaway Medal. I have since worked for a variety of clients including Scholastic, Wayland, MAGA, Tony Potter Publishing, the American Animal Hospital Association, Korea Hemmingway and Oxford University Press. I currently live a dual life. By day, I may be a mild-mannered illustrator, but by night I become the masked crime-fighter and master cake-baker “Red Velvet”*. I hope to be joined soon in my crime fighting/cake baking adventures by a small, black, white and dog-shaped partner. * May or may not be true.
