Welcome to the official website of South Australian Artist and children's book Author and Illustrator, Mandy Foot.

My dream days are spent at my drawing board, drawing or painting the wonderful creatures of the Animal Kingdom - this is what I love to do most. Whether it's a traditionally published children's book, a commercial collaboration with a client or creating a new range for licensing, I'm always open to exploring new possibilities.
I still paint traditionally as I love to explore paint on paper. Thank you for dropping by.

Easter with Haigh's Chocolates 2025

It's an absolute honour to once again be collaborating with local family owned, extraordinary chocolate makers, Haigh's Chocolates, to create some gorgeous additions to their Easter range for 2025. This softer image was painted quite large in watercolour in order to capture all the detail and I love that this year, it incorporates a number of our favourite native animals.

The round tins created this year are absolutely divine and I hope they will be much loved by children and adults alike. Thank you to the amazing design team at Haigh's Chocolates, you do an incredible job. Enjoy!
