“My work is deeply rooted in storytelling - exploring visual narratives set in imaginary landscapes. I favor a monochrome palette for its mysterious, dreamlike quality..”
Michael Broad studied illustration at Portsmouth University, earning 1st Class Honours Degree in 1999. He then moved to London to work as a commercial artist and made books in his spare time. One of these books caught the attention of a literary agent and his first publishing contract followed in 2005.
Michael has since written and illustrated over thirty books for children and these have been translated into many languages worldwide. His picture books have been nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal and the Stockport Schools Book Award, and his fiction has been shortlisted for the Nottingham Children's Book Award and the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize.
Michael continues to paint alongside book projects and his enduring fascination with stories has fed into a body of work depicting a large cast of characters populating dreamlike landscapes. He has recreated many of these characters as porcelain sculptures.
Michael’s paintings and ceramics reside in private art collections around the world and his work been shown in various exhibitions including the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts.
