Born in Belfast, Oliver Jeffers lives and works in New York. A storytelling artist and keen observer of the world, he draws it with curiosity and humour, developing a figurative universe with a distinctively naïve line. An acclaimed and widely exhibited painter, as well as a celebrated children's book author, his vision moves and provokes in colour, drawing from the greatest human common denominator: our life together on planet Earth. Memo Paris's borderless olfactory map led him to Adare - like a memory of Ireland rising to the surface.
