Dolores Keaveney

Dolores is a Self Published Author/Illustrator of Children’s Picture Books.

She started writing and illustrating children’s picture books 4 years ago and now has seven books self published.

Dolores is an artist not a qualified illustrator, and likes to paint in strong vibrant colours as she think`s this adds greatly to her books. She love`s painting and finds it is a great way to chill out and to relax and to express herself in her paintings.  Flowers are her favourite item to paint and has made this her painting choice.

Dolores has been painting for the best part of 40 years, and has had many exhibitions. 

In 2009 Dolores launched her first picture book If I were a bee.....and decided to self publish it because she had read up and researched a lot about self publishing over the previous year and felt it was a route she`d would like to take as it was a challenging way to go about publishing a book.   She realised from the start that it would be a daunting journey but felt she still wanted to go this route.    This book was a great success and spurred her on to write and illustrate more.  Dolores has continued to launch one or two books per year since then.

Books are suited from around 3-8years, Earth Angels are Everywhere is for older children/young adults
