Oliver Jeffers (born 1977)

Oliver Jeffers’ award-winning picture books comprise just one element of his wide-ranging artistic oeuvre. He also produces figurative paintings, prints, illustrations and installations that are celebrated and exhibited worldwide.

Oliver Jeffers was born in Port Hedland, Western Australia, and moved to Belfast in 1979. He learnt to draw by copying the Asterix comic book strip, and he credits his early love for painting to John Singer Sargent portraits. He began to seriously consider painting as a career in 1995, when he became runner-up in the Irish News amateur art competition. From that date, he contributed to exhibitions in Belfast, and soon began to design book jackets for local publishing houses.
