Catharine loves to draw and learn exciting new ways to create art, whether it’s with a digital pen on a Wacom Cintiq or on paper and pencil. She is also notorious for sketching on sticky notes and leaving a trail wherever she goes.
Most days, Catharine can be found in her studio on the 3rd floor of the Hala B. Darling House in Upstate New York. With her studio cat, Hala to keep her company, she paints, draws, writes, and teaches art and design online at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh to undergraduate students both in the US and abroad.

I've been a working artist since 1979. I've designed and painted pieces for dvd video covers, movie posters, point of purchase displays, computer game covers, magazines, children books, toys, and character development.
I am self taught, though I have worked in two design firms early in my career.
I work in a beautiful 1300 square foot studio I had built from scratch. It has a professional photography area for shooting reference shots, a traditional painting area, a costume area, and a digital area.
Corey
I'm traditionally trained, so I'm comfortable painting in oils, acrylics, or digitally. I often use a combination to get the best results.
Thanks for stopping by, I look forward to working with you.

| erika lebarre | erika@erikalebarre.com | Bio | Erika LeBarre has always been exposed to art one way or another as she grew up. Her father worked as a car designer for the big three until he retired, and her mother was and still is a ceramicist. Erika's parents always encouraged her creative side. Drawing was her favorite thing to do, especially dinosaurs and monsters as subject matter. Erika graduated from the College for Creative Studies in 1990 with a BFA in illustration. She worked at an art studio with other illustrators and designers for over four years. Since then she has worked as a freelance illustrator out of her home.
“Erika's work is beautiful and highly original. She always comes through with knock-out work, on time and without a hassle. She makes art directors look good! She is very thorough in her approach to an assignment and makes sure there are no unanswered questions and no unpleasant surprises. A real pro!” -Kelley Cunningham, AD for Highlights High Five Magazine

| Jane Smith | jane@superjane.com | Bio | Jane Smith loves paper. She has boxes and boxes of it, all organized by color. She enjoys creating collages that celebrate a child’s discovery of the world around them. Her work strives to capture those little moments when for the very first time a snail is revealed beneath a leaf or a garbage truck is seen out the window. And when the challenge of marrying a novelty element with images with text comes up, Jane is particularly excited. There is nothing more satisfying than a perfectly timed lift-the-flap or a surprising pop-up! |
| Jed Alexander | jedalexander@sbcglobal.net | Bio | If you're looking for a classic and timeless look, my work harks back to the golden age of 20th century children's book illustration, but with a contemporary feel and rich palette.
After working in the editorial field for 10 years for such publications as LA Weekly, The Sacramento News and Review and The Santa Cruz Metro, I was inspired to return to my first love, children's illustration. To further this aim, I created a portfolio inspired by classic children's tales, for which I received best in show at the North/Central Society of Children's Book Writer's and Illustrator's Spring Spirit conference in 2010. I also received an Ignatz nomination for my graphic novel work for Alternative Comics. I studied illustration at San Jose State University where I received my degree. I am a current member of SCBWI. |
