Carey is a Toronto-based illustrator and picture book author who grew up on the Canadian prairies. She always loved to draw, often on scrap paper from her dad’s office but also occasionally on the underside of the kitchen table. 

Her early career was in editorial illustration where her illustrations earned recognition from the Society of Illustrators, Communication Arts, American Illustration, as well as a Canadian National Magazine Award. Carey now spends most of her time writing and illustrating picture books as well as teaching in the Bachelor of Illustration program at Sheridan College. She loves both working conceptually on editorial assignments, and the creative challenge of crafting a great picture book.
