Daron Parton is a master storyteller with a paintbrush. His illustrations captivate audiences of all ages, infusing humour and creativity into every scene.
This unique ability might stem from his own life journey, a vibrant tapestry woven from diverse experiences. Born in the exotic port city of Aden, Yemen, Daron spent his formative years surrounded by a rich cultural blend. His family's move to England for his education at the prestigious Central St. Martin's College further broadened his horizons. Now, nestled in Hamilton, New Zealand, Daron continues to find inspiration in the world around him.
Daron's artistic talent has garnered well-deserved recognition, including merits in the prestigious 3x3 annual for both a children's book and an advertising project. He draws inspiration from a wide range of artists, highlighting his openness to various styles and techniques.
"Daron has an innate ability to take the most mundane brief and create imagery that is rich with visual humour, wit or an unexpected twist-while still being 'on point. Imaginative, inspirational and a top bloke to work with... and no I'm not his doting mum!"
