Bettina Paterson was born in Hampstead, London in 1960. Having gained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual Studies at Oxford Brooks University, she went on to study Advanced Graphic Design at St. Martin's School of Art. After college Paterson worked as a freelance illustrator and in 1985 she illustrated her first children's book, Bun and Mrs. Tubby, which triggered her interest in animal characters.
