American-born Renée Treml moved to Australia in 2007, where she was immediately captivated by the unique wildlife in this country. Drawing on her background in ecology, Renee’s began writing stories and creating illustrations that focused on animals and the environment. Renee works in her home studio in Fremantle, WA. She has written and illustrated several picture books including award-winning Once I Heard a Little Wombat, and Wombat Big, Puggle Small. She is also the creator of the hilarious graphic novels featuring Sherlock Bones and Ollie and Bea.
Here is an interview with Kids' Book Review. Take a look at this greeting card by Renee Treml for La La Land. And I found another interview from 2009 written before she had published her first picture book!
Spread from One Very Tired Wombat
Kirkus said: ... her illustrations place beautiful pen-and-ink drawings against delicate pastel washes and capture lots of personality in her creatures. The judicious use of color and white space makes each two-page spread a work of art as well as a visual delight. Elegant, informative, engaging.
Renee sure does draw fantastic illustrations of wombats. In a previous post I talked about other illustrators who paint and draw this very appealing Australian animal.
