Quite a few years into her career, she changed her style to consist of pieces of homemade colorful paper put together to make different images which she included in the children’s books she illustrated.

Christian Robinson grew up in LA, California, raised by his grandmother in a one-bedroom home shared by six people. He began his career in animation until a mentor, Ben Butcher, inspired him towards children's books. 

He graduated from the University of Westminster with a degree in computer game design and programming. He favors acrylic and collage to create nice art with a range of stories both fiction and non-fiction. 

I like that he balances positive and negative space and has a more analogous color scheme. The colors are really pleasing to the eye and convey the expression and mood of the drawing.
