5 out of 5 starsWhat a gorgeous work of art. I feel so lucky to have it and cannot wait to have it framed and to hang it in my own house by the sea, it’s purrrrrfect ;-) Thanks so much Alison, it’s really special. 💗
Also-shipping was fast, a seamless process. -

5 out of 5 starsAlison Jay is without a doubt one of the most charming and original (children’s book) illustrators of our days, and it is amazing that it‘s possible and so easy to get original artwork of hers here at Etsy. The paintings are just great, look even better than the prints and books. The communication with Alison is super nice as are the packages she sends. Having her paintings on my walls just makes me happy. Thank you so much.

5 out of 5 starsI have been a fan of Alison's work for many years. I had an old postcard that was getting rough and I thought to myself how cool it would be just to find out if the original painting from the post card was actually available and it was! So if you ever see a post card with Alison Jay's work on it, don't be shy- inquire with her as to whether the painting is available!!!

Illustrator and Artist
Hello I'm Alison Jay, a professional children's book illustrator, and I have illustrated over 30 books….
My latest publication is Out of the Blue published by Barefoot Books, it is a textless picture book that I wrote myself, and I’m thrilled to say it has been nominated for the Kate Greenaway prize 2015.
I work in a tiny room filled with light, heat, and clutter; well it does help with creativity you know!
The paintings in this gallery are pieces I’ve painted while developing book ideas, and some are just because I love the subject matter: my “Bus Lady's Holiday” so to speak.
I’ve always painted with oil paint( alkyds) on paper, and recently I’ve been working on thick watercolour paper, using a more subdued palette.
Often my work is finished with a crackle glaze, this brings out the colours and gives the work an almost timeless quality.
I hope to be able to offer smaller pieces and prints, in between working on my next book …. Bee and ME !
