Hello there~ I am Shadra Strickland–artist and children's book illustrator extraordinaire. Drawing and storytelling have been my passion since I was around five years old. Raised by an educator, I am also a professor of art in Baltimore, Maryland.
I love drawing people and infusing the portraits with a bit of magic and play! I like to think of my work as magical realism, because what is reality without a bit of whimsy?
