Contributor Notes

Skylar is an illustrator living in New York City with her husband and their cat Alfie. Prior to New York, she lived in Denver, Colorado and got her degree in illustration from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design. She has an affinity for projects that infuse the everyday with a touch of magic. As a kid, she was constantly informed by teachers that vocabulary tests and other documents were not for doodling but was encouraged to keep a spare piece of paper nearby for those distractions. Today the tick remains to scribble something on the nearest piece of paper. Skylar's preferred mediums are watercolor and gouache, but there is always a possibility of microns, colored pencils, ink and digital brushes will work their way into the mix.
