Meet the Team
Jane Moodie – Author & Artist
Jane is the original creative force behind our beloved Walter Bean children’s
book series, which she began authoring and painting many years ago during her extensive time abroad working in the fashion industry. Jane was born in Cape Town, South Africa, where she has established herself as a mainstay artist in the Art@Africa gallery. Her art, admired and collected globally, reflects her unique perspective on the world. With a keen eye for the magical, the true, and the good, Jane’s work is infused with a sense of wonder and curiosity, inspiring
readers of all ages to see the world through her eyes.
Gareth De Breuyn – CEO
“I’ve learned that in film, it’s the people who make the magic.”
Gareth is a visionary creative leader with a gift for recognizing and developing the potential he sees in others. With a long-standing career in the South African Film and Television industry — where he still works actively to this day — Gareth operates out of sunny, windswept Cape Town, mentoring and equipping the next generation of SA filmmakers.
A lifelong devotee of literature, Gareth has now found equal purpose in publishing. Green Heart Press is his personal reinvestment into the world that shaped him — a reflection of his core principles: education, environmental stewardship, and the enduring power of the written word.
Dylan Tewapak – Illustrator
Dylan is a multidisciplinary visual artist from Bangkok, Thailand, whose repertoire bridges the digital and the handmade.
While institutionally trained in digital illustration, his practice centers on tactile creation — from prop-making to miniature set building — using predominantly reclaimed and recycled materials to create his sculptures.
Ema Muller – Illustrator
Spelled with one “m” and don’t you forget, Ema was born in the wild and raised by artists.
Her love for nature sews its influence into her many creative pursuits, all of which she diligently maintains in a lifelong ritual of artistic self-fulfillment; she is the very quintessence of what it means and takes to cut it as an independent artist in the Mother City.
