Lizzy O'Donnell lives in South Jersey, just across the river from Philadelphia, where they received a BFA in illustration at University of the Arts. There they honed their own artistic voice, and their flair for vintage-inspired palettes, and discovered their love of all things picture book-related. They went on to work at their alma mater, teaching illustration classes for both high school and undergraduate students. Lizzy works full-time on developing stories and illustrations in their cozy home studio.
