![]() ![]() ![]() The central character is based on the author's sister, Katharine. This was the start of a series about a girl who explores paintings by climbing inside them. In 1982, a summer as a pavement artist in Lowestoft, recreating famous works of art, inspired this idea, which was subsequently developed at Maidstone College of Art in 1984. Mayhew's first published work was Katie's Picture Show (1989). On leaving school Mayhew studied at Lowestoft School of Art from 1982 to 1984, and then at Maidstone College of Art (now the University for the Creative Arts). He was a founder pupil of the Benjamin Britten High School and later attended the Denes High School in Lowestoft (for sixth form studies). The son of RAF pilot John Byrne Mayhew and Linda Georgina Mayhew ( née Leighton), James Mayhew was brought up in the village of Blundeston, Suffolk. James John Mayhew (born 1964 in Stamford, Lincolnshire) is an English illustrator and author of children's books, storyteller, artist and concert presenter/live art performer. ![]()
