BIOGRAPHY
Original picture book and greetings card artwork by Catherine Anholt is available for purchase from Images of Delight.
Catherine Anholt comes from an Irish background but was raised near Stroud in Gloucestershire. Her father was a potter and she is one of eight siblings.
Catherine achieved a First Class Honour's Degree in Fine Art at Falmouth School of Art where she met her husband, Laurence. This was followed by a Master's Degree in Printmaking at the Royal College of Art. She continues to produce colourful large-scale oil paintings alongside her illustration work for children's books.
From their studios in Lyme Regis, Dorset, Catherine & Laurence Anholt have created more than 150 children's books, which are published all over the world in more than 50 languages. Their books have won numerous prizes, including the Newstle Smarties Gold Award on two occasions.
Around half of the Anholts' titles are illustrated by Catherine, including the much-loved Chimp and Zee series and numerous picture books published by Walker Books and Orchard Books.
Catherine has been closely involved with a number of national and international literacy charities and produced some of the original material for the highly successful government funded BookStart scheme., which encourages parents to share books with babies from the earliest possible age. Her work has taken her inside Downing Street and Buckingham Palace on several occasions.
The Anholts have three grown-up children - an anthropologist, a drama student and a fine art student.
