Catlin Gaensler

I am early childhood educator and have been involved in the arts my whole life through movement, mask and costume making and painting. I love children's books and have made a few attempts to create my own. I am excited to learn more about illustration and to dedicate more time to creating! I have 2 young children and am working on carving out time for my own passions :) My cover image is from a favorite Japanese author/ illustrator, Kaya Doi, who created the magical Chirri and Chirra books.
