Herring, Carol: - Carol Herring is a freelance illustrator living in North Canterbury, New Zealand. She enjoys painting digitally on the iPadPro, and also traditionally with gouache on paper. Her inspiration comes from her favourite childhood illustrator/author Richard Scarry, as well as other contemporary children's book illustrators, her kids, and the menagerie of pets she is surrounded with while working from home. In her free time Carol loves to run, mountain bike, go hiking, and get beaten by her kids at board games.
