HI! I’M MARKER! I’m an illustrator, storyteller, and professional messmaker. Through my art, I encourage kids of all ages to dive into their imaginations and emotions, to embrace their mistakes, and to fearlessly share the best versions of themselves with the world. I LIVE AND WORK IN A RAINBOW HOUSE IN KINGSTON, NY …WITH MY HUSBAND, 2 CATS, AND A VERY FRIENDLY TURTLE. I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO MAKE A MESS. I PASSIONATELY BELIEVE ANYONE CAN DRAW. (Yes, anyone.) I’VE NEVER MET AN ANIMAL I DIDN’T LIKE. (Actually, I’m a sucker for just about ANYTHING with eyes.) MY FAVORITE ARTISTIC TOOL IS IMAGINATION. (Markers are a close second.) I THINK OUR WORLD CAN BE MADE BETTER THROUGH KINDNESS TOWARDS OTHERS. …AND, IF YOU CAN’T FIND ME, I’M PROBABLY DRAWING.
