Nandina Vines

A keen reader from an early age, Nandina Vines, wrote, illustrated and constructed her first picture book at the age of 8 years old. Her creative flare led her to work as a colourist with the Hannah Barbera Production Company and later, a career in graphic design. In recent years, Nandina changed her career direction to follow her lifelong dream of becoming an illustrator of children’s picture books and has illustrated over ten different picture books for self-published authors. Nandina is passionate about animals, nature and conservation. Nandina is not afraid of spiders and uses the catch-and-release method if a spider happens to stray indoors!
