Amy O'Hanlon is from San Ramon, California, and is the only illustrator in a family of musicians. She began studying art at Humboldt State before running away to England for a Masters program at Kingston School of Art. After graduating with honors, Amy had the opportunity to do stage projection design for Bay Area musicals, and has worked as an illustrator for self published authors. These days, she also moonlights as a bookseller at Bookbug & this is a bookstore in Kalamazoo, Michigan. She is a member of SCBWI and a 2019 PBWWTS mentorship winner.
Amy is inspired by the fantasy in everyday life, and loves nothing more than drawing all the magical things that can only be seen in the corner of her eye. She is represented by Natalie Lakosil of Irene Goodman Literary Agency. |
