Maryanna Hollomon is a storyteller, artist, muralist, illustrator, and textile enthusiast who really likes to work with her hands. She’s been hired for editorial illustrations, storyboarding, character design for an animation studio, a lot of illustration commissions, a few murals, and a children’s hospital installation. She has exhibited her paintings and sculptures in many gallery shows. Her first children’s book, TOLLY, was published by Overcup Press.
She lives in Portland, OR with her husband, two children, and a very fuzzy calico cat.
