Aura Parker

Illustrator

Aura Parker’s body of work is constantly evolving. She often draws on themes of nature, humanity and childhood. Her work is insightful, charming and often tongue-in-cheek and playful. When it comes to her individual style, Aura’s artwork is often very bright and highly patterned. She likes to use curly organic lines, inspired by Art Nouveau, Japanese woodblock prints and geometric designs. She often works in watercolour and coloured pencil with digital enhancements. Aura’s work is whimsical and imaginative, yet personal too. She is passionate about art, design and children’s literature. She lives in Sydney with her family and three children, who she tries to read and draw with as much as she can. My Magnificent Jelly Bean Tree is her first picture book
