B I O G R A P H Y
Born in New York City and raised in New Jersey, Mary Zisk has been drawing since she was in a highchair. Professionally a graphic designer, Mary has art directed several magazines such as Art & Antiques, and PC Magazine. She is now also an author and illustrator of children's books.
Mary has painted for pleasure since she was 10. Painting tours with other artists through China, Italy, Hawaii, and the American Southwest over the years helped her fine tune her craft.
Mary has worked in most media, but used gouache for her book in a style described by Kirkus Reviews as “a profusion of pattern and exuberant color reminiscent of Eastern European textiles or pottery.”
A single adoptive mother, Mary lives in New Jersey with daughter Anna, a cockatiel Sassy and three beautiful rescued mutts--Princess, Lady, and Oliver.
