Lisa Sheehan knew from an early age she would have a career in art and drawing. After earning a BA in illustration, she fell into the world of graphic design and become an art director. Raising her two young daughters rekindled Sheehan’s love of illustration, and she pursued an MA in children's book illustration from Cambridge School of Art. Lisa Sheehan lives in Bedfordshire, England, with her husband, two daughters, and a Maine coon cat named Chester.
