Kaley McKean is an illustrator based in Toronto. She received her BDes in Illustration from OCAD U in 2012, and since then has been working in the realms of editorial illustration, children’s publishing, and product design. Her first illustrated children’s book, “Howl Like a Wolf” by Kathleen Yale, was published in spring 2018 by Storey Publishing.
Her work features bright, minimal colour palettes and hand-made textures. She is inspired by medieval bestiaries, folklore, and the natural world. She will happily draw you any animal.
Kaley lives in Toronto’s west end with her husband (who is also an illustrator) Nolan Pelletier.
