Since 1992 Whatley has written and/or illustrated over 60 children’s picture books, published both in Australia and overseas.
He has worked with author Jackie French on rhyming children’s tale Fire and sister publication Flood, and with Ahn Do on the award-winning book The Little Refugee.
Curated by Paul Morris, La Trobe University Lecturer in Graphic Design and Illustration, the exhibition will provide a rare insight into the mind and practice of this distinguished artist.
Whatley uses many mediums, including gouache, pen and ink, pencil, oils, watercolour, and has experimented with CGI software.
He aims to entertain and surprise his readers with illustration styles that vary depending on the text and the age group of his audience.
The exhibition opens tomorrow and runs until Sunday, August, 9.
