Frané Lessac was born in the USA and lived in the Caribbean Island of Montserrat and the United Kingdom before moving to Australia. As a child, Frané toyed with the idea of becoming a veterinarian, and had many pets including a monkey, snakes and a camel. Fortunately for us, she was also exposed to the artistic influences of New York City with its many galleries and museums. She attended film school in California before turning her efforts to painting and publishing. She is a talented artist, author and illustrator, having created beautiful illustrations for more than forty books. Frané is married to children's author, Mark Greenwood, and they have collaborated on many books. The many countries she visits continue to provide a major influence for Frané's art work and books.For more info go to: www.franelessac.com
