About Dale
Dale Newman loves creating images full of mystery, high drama and subtle humour, so her collaboration with Julie Hunt on KidGlovz and Shoestring the Boy Who Walks on Air has been a natural fit. She has a background in lithography and etching which brings a love of rendering light and tone to her pencil illustrations. Her distinctive work has appeared on gallery walls, newspapers, magazines and educational books for children. She has also worked extensively as an artist in the youth health sector, and uses these skills in workshops she runs with Julie in schools around Australia.
Dale lives with her partner and son and their talkative dog on the NSW south coast. In her spare time she can be found rescuing dilapidated retro chairs from the jaws of the council crunchy truck.
