Candace Carrothers
(she/her)

Candace wants to live in a world where laundry folds itself and books come bundled with dark chocolate and steamed matcha green tea! She always tries to have a positive attitude, believes in synchronicity and lives with some really great people - her crafty husband, her noisy yet charming beautiful daughter and their loveable fuzzball dog, Hazel.

(she/her/they/them)

 

Adrienne has been crafting and creating art since she could walk and hold a crayon!

Adrienne has a great passion for children's literature, creating beautiful environments and engaging characters with a bold visual style. Trained in both Graphic Design, and Illustration, she is not just a one trick pony.

You will often find Adrienne in her creative cave creating art, or curled up on the couch with a hot coffee, a good book (most likely art related), and snuggling a cat.
