Liberati, Chelsie: - Chelsie Liberati is a children's book illustrator and author whose BFA in painting inspires her to expose children to early art education through stories of fictional artist adventures. Her pieces are deeply rooted in traditional drawing styles yet remain fresh and engaging for all ages. Using digital tools, Chelsie creates soft and inviting backgrounds giving the impression of paper and woven textures that contrast with the harder edges of colored pencils and paint. She can most often be found curled up with a sketchbook sitting next to her pug, Ross.www.chelsieliberati.com
