Stefanie Fields is an independent author from the gorgeous Pacific Northwest.  She graduated from her hometown college as a Certified Hypnotherapist.  Through this education, she learned the power of positive words, affirmations, and mindful actions.  Stefanie understands the lasting effects of values received in childhood and the impact of beliefs born in adolescence.  Her books are designed to promote self-esteem, wisdom, and strength.

In the early stages of her creative endeavors, Stefanie was advised to "create something people will fall in love with."  She hopes her heartfelt writing, complimented with the beautiful illustrations of her partnering artists, will be a wonderful addition to your home library and that you, too, will fall in love.

Raised primarily in San Antonio, Texas, Phyllis has lived in Burlington, Washington since 2002.  As a child she lived in much of the southern United States and countries throughout the Far East.  As a result she attended eight schools by graduation.  Her father’s military service provided opportunity to absorb a rich tapestry of visual information.  Phyllis loved drawing even as a very young child but her initial foray into the world of paint and canvas began as an adult while living in Alaska.  Her first love was the work of Sidney Laurence's huge landscapes of Mount McKinley.  She is primarily self-taught and “learned to see” by reproducing copies of Laurence’s paintings in black and white.

Phyllis began exhibiting her work in 2006 and has exhibited regularly in group shows and private venues since.  She is a founding member of the Whatcom Art Market, a cooperative gallery in Fairhaven, Washington.  Her work can be seen in local venues and regularly at the Whatcom Art Market.

Phyllis works in a variety of media and styles.  She excels in graphite and color pencil, normally producing photo realistic works featuring wild animals.  In her vibrant and dramatic, experimental mixed media work, she creates texture by incorporating acrylic mediums, specialty papers, and “bits” (jewelry, hardware, wire, etc.) to produce appealing tactile surfaces.  She layers transparent washes so previous hues shine through to the surface, providing rich saturated color.

“I am a devotee of acrylics!  I love them because they allow me to paint in the windows of time when I can.  With a busy schedule stealing away to my studio for just a few moments to apply another coat or attach another thing and leave it to dry as obligations call me away, gives me the ability to create in spite of time limitations.  Using acrylics also allows me to be free to explore, try, fail, or just change my mind.”

You can find Phyllis' work on display at the Whatcom Art Market located in Bellingham's historic Fairhaven district.  Prints of her artwork are available through ArtXpressions by Phyllis and Fine Art America.

Heather resides in the rainy and green Pacific Northwest, though she often wanders off into dreamland to find new creatures and characters for her art.  She is best known for her visual work on Nightschool Studio's "Oxenfree" and endless Bunnehs and Dwagons!

Heather has worked in animation, fashion, toy design, and on award winning video games.  She doesn't plan on stopping there, though!

On a constant journey to find inspiration, she enjoys wandering through nature, trying different forms of art to expand her skillset, and visiting places she has never been before!

You can keep up with Heather on her website and follow her on Instagram and Twitter.
