Splash

Terri Cracknell was born in the UK. Her family migrated to Australia in the 1950's and lived in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges east of Melbourne. The nearest Art School was Swinburne University which Terri attended during the late sixties. This led to a love of graphic design and encouraged her strong affinity with colour which has always been the basis for her visual influences. Terri moved to Sydney in 1969 and embarked on a self-employed career spanning 33 years in the 3D environment of exhibition & graphic design. This busy career meant that until recent retirement Terri did not pursue her desire to write and illustrate children's books. Splash is the fifth title for this author, other childrens books being Goats in Boats, Crusoe's Web, Freckle and Pink Sugar Pie
