About the Illustrator

"Talk to Me, Grandpa" is a Fullerton women endeavor -- about Bethany, written by Dawn, and illustrated by Amy.  Amy has been interested in design and art from childhood.  One of her first projects was the lovely collection of red crayon apples drawn on a newly painted white living room wall!  In high school her passion was architecture, so for 1 1/2 years she studied in the architectural program at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg and worked for an architect in St. Paul, Minnesota, for a summer.  The passion waned and revived again when, after getting an associates' degree in business, she entered North Park University in Chicago, Illinois. There she was able to experiment with a variety of art forms as an art and Spanish major.  Currently she is completing her master's degree in Spanish at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. Her thesis about the works of Goya combines both interests.
