Alison was born in County Down in Northern Ireland. She worked in the computer department of a bank before coming to her senses and studying Visual Communication at the University of Ulster in Belfast. After graduating with a First, she and her husband Jeff moved to an old chapel in the Usk Valley in Wales, where she now concentrates on illustrating children’s books. Alison spends most of her free time chasing her chickens out of the vegetable garden and brushing her cat. She also loves running and cycling in the countryside.
