Anke Noack is an award-winning artist and illustrator from Melbourne, Australia, where she lives with her partner and their three wild and wonderful kids in a cottage in the bustling neighbourhood of North Fitzroy and a tranquil sunlit art studio in the backyard.
With an MA in Architecture, she initially worked as a Senior Artist for Sony Entertainment in London, developing video games.
Her creative journey then took her to leading game studios in Berlin and London, where she shaped immersive, imaginary worlds as a concept designer before returning to her first love: illustration.
Her art style is vibrant and luminous, full of magic and a sense of wide-eyed adventure.
Whether sketching at her studio desk or from the window seat of a plane while travelling with her kids around the world, she finds inspiration everywhere.
Anke's books with Rhiza Press include:
