Marielle is the author of the rhyming picture books Frog's Bog and Frog in a Fog, both published by Graffeg. The Neurons series has been a project in the works for many years, inspired in part by Marielle's own experiences of living with Epilepsy as a child and adult. Kellyanne Thorne is an artist and illustrator currently based in London. After completing a fine art degree with a specialism in sculpture, she began a career in teaching which she left after several years to raise her children. During this time Kellyanne began creating her own work and rediscovered her love of drawing finding inspiration from the beauty within our natural world. She regularly exhibits at well-established Art fairs and has completed a variety of commercial and private commissions. The Neuron series is a passion project due to Kellyanne's background in education but especially as her son has both Autism and DCD.
