Kimberly Brown grew up in British Columbia, Canada exploring freshwater lakes surrounded by snow-capped mountains and conifer forests. All that adventuring somehow led her over an ocean to Australia, where she now explores rock pools and beaches surrounded by eucalypts and palms near Newcastle, NSW. She graduated as a high school English and Visual Arts teacher where she became captivated by the power of stories and the way words and pictures work together. Kimberly has also spent a lot of time making art for exhibitions, murals, festivals and graphic design as well as writing and facilitating community art classes. When she's not teaching high school students or making books, you can find Kimberly running trails, paddling crystal clear waters, or bush camping with her little family of adventurers.
