Growing up in a bushy house in Sydney, Beau Wylie began drawing ridiculous creatures and colourful worlds from the moment he could grasp a pencil. After graduating from the University of NSW with honours in Fine Art, Beau installed shows in art galleries, serviced boats on Sydney Harbour, and “worked” in a delightful Surry Hills bookshop where he plotted a fanciful future as a children’s book author while foraging through the kids section. He now lives and works as an artist in Newcastle with his wonderful partner Bianca and preposterously cute Jack Russell Rowan.
