Abby has drawn all of her life. When she was eleven, she and her grandmother had a card business: Abby drew, and her grandmother sold. In college she studied art, but also liked science and nutrition, and wished there was a way to combine it all. Several years later, after she was married and had a daughter, she and her husband founded Fresh Samantha, the juice company, which fulfilled that dream. In addition to her graphics for Fresh Samantha, she has illustrated many picture books and chapter books for children. She says that she loves to draw odd characters, and hates to draw straight lines. Abby lives with her husband and two children in Connecticut. Shown at right are her most recent books, Maggie's Monkeys by Linda Sanders-Wells (Candlewick Press), Andy Shane and the Queen of Egypt and Andy Shane and the Barn Sale Mystery by Jennifer Richard Jacobson (Candlewick Press).
