Brief description: Christy Mandin is a children's book author, illustrator, and surface designer. She grew up in rural Georgia and credits her country life of solitude as an only child for much of her love of books and nature. You'll find this love of nature along with nostalgia, magic, and whimsy woven into the fabric of her art. Christy works mostly digitally now that she has tiny humans underfoot. When she isn't drawing, she can be found quilting, gardening, or cozied up with a cup of coffee and the latest period drama on BBC or PBS. Christy currently lives in Georgia with her husband, four children, and a menagerie of animals and insects. Visit her at ChristyMandin.com.
