Bio:

An award-winning illustrator, Gretchen has applied her creative talents in fields as diverse as real-estate advertising, hospital communications and children's literacy education, among others. When methods incorporating computer technology entered the world of graphic design, she expanded her repertoire of skills to include digital art and web design. Her varied styles of illustration have been used in newspapers, magazines, brochures, as well as on the Internet. As of May 2011, her primary focus has been freelance illustration and her first love - creating whimsical art for children (and children at heart).
