Kaye is an award winning children\'s author.
She would scribble ideas in a notebook just like Olive.
She once traveled by train for three days across Australia where she lives and would love to do it again.
If you asked Kaye Baillie to choose her favorite mode of transportation, she would say \'a vintage train\'.
When she\'s not drawing, you can find her in her big vegetable garden in the forest, on the ground playing with her pets, or sitting together with her family and friends playing music.
The magic of giving life to her characters, in illustrations or as three-dimensional figures, gives her a wonderful feeling.
She uses all kind of materials, and loves to explore new media to create with.
She lives and works in an old farmhouse on a mountain in Switzerland, with her pets, her lovely husband, her grown-up children and her creative grandmother!
After art school she trained as a graphic designer in the early eighties without a computer: that\'s how she learned to do everything by hand! Her work steps are to first imagine a character, second to illustrate it on paper, and third bring it to life in three dimensional paperclay.
