Carolyn Garcia graduated from Pacific Northwest College of Art and since has shown her artwork in Portland, New Mexico, Texas, and California. From picture books to chapter books, Carolyn loves children’s literature and has taught art and presented story times to children and adults for many years. Drawing and writing are Carolyn’s favorite things to do, but she also enjoys singing, playing the accordion, baking empanadas, and looking at very small things like moss, bugs, and seed pods. Carolyn lives with her husband, Jay, her cat, Chester, and dog, Scout, in Portland, Oregon.
