About the Illustrator
I am an illustrator in Minneapolis, MN. My formal training is in science, and I am still a nerd--a nerd who draws. Besides drawing, I love helping people understand things, dancing, ice-skating, bike riding, cooking overly complicated meals, anything Japanese, hanging out with my family, and the magic of making things by hand.
4 Facts About Me
01
I'm the eldest of 5 sisters, who are scattered around the world. From eldest to youngest, we live in: Minnesota, Japan, Germany, Colorado and North Carolina.
02
I broke my right ankle while ice skating. Nine titanium screws hold it together. I still take ice skating lessons, and still plan to one day land an axel gracefully.
03
I love chickens! It once occurred to me that the fluffy back ends of chickens resemble rows of lace, so I had to make a felt chicken with a lacy rear. I've now made 4 of these cuddly felt chickens, who lay embroidered eggs.
