Daniel Gray-Barnett
Author & Illustrator of Children’s Fiction
based in TAS
Daniel Gray-Barnett is an award-winning illustrator and author based in the Huon Valley, lutruwita/Tasmania.
A self-taught artist, he once studied Medical Science at the University of Sydney before realising storytelling had a far lower mortality rate.
His books have been recognised by the Children’s Book Council of Australia, the Society of Illustrators, and the International Youth Library, and he has collaborated with Children’s Laureates Sally Rippin (Australia) and Joseph Coelho (UK).
Daniel lives with his husband, kids, dogs, and chickens—and hopes to tell a few more stories before turning into a grumpy old man.
