About Deborah Niland
Deborah Niland was born in 1950 in New Zealand and educated in Sydney. She is the twin sister of Kilmeny Niland, with both pursuing parallel career paths, studying art at the Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney and then travelling to London. While in London, Deborah and Kilmeny began their art careers by illustrating a book for Transworld Publishers, and other books for this publisher followed. In 1973 they illustrated Banjo Paterson's Mulga Bill's Bicycle, which has never been out of print. Deborah works in a wide variety of styles and techniques, mainly using pencil, ink, watercolour and gouache, and more recently digital painting. Although book illustration has been a continuing interest, Deborah has also been involved with painting for exhibitions and producing artwork for greeting cards, magazines and newspapers. Since the mid-2000s she has written and illustrated her own children's books.
