Gaines, Lynn: - Lynn Gaines has been making art for years and is still in love with making it! Born and raised in Ohio, she currently works for American Greetings, but also loves making art for children's books and kids-related products. She works both digitally and traditionally, often combining the two. She hasn't met a craft she doesn't love--sewing is one of her favorite hobbies. She looks for inspiration everywhere and often finds it in bookstores and thrift stores, looking in vintage children's books and animation, and even in a garden or two. In her spare time, she is a bit of an illustration nerd, loves to roller skate, read, and toy with writing. Lynn lives in Northeast Ohio with her husband Mel and two fur-kids and studio mates, Charlie and Harry.
