KristenSchwartz's Profile

Bio

I am an illustrator and writer with a background in graphic design. My favorite subject matter is fantastical, cultural mythology, and nature. I am currently making my way into children's publishing after many years of botanical and fantastical illustrating.

I was recently picked to work with award winning illustrator Yuyi Morales in the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators' Mentor Program. During the program I will be further developing my portfolio to enter the children's genre. Follow my journey at www.aJourneyIllustrated.com or see my full portfolio at www.KristenSchwartz.com

I have a business called Faery Medicine where you will find all of my fantastical characters on cards, bookmarks, and prints. Check it out at www.FaeryMedicine.com.

All purchases from my Etsy store or at Faery Medicine are helping to fund my Journey into Children's Publishing. Thank you!
