Courtney Dawson

COURTNEY DAWSON is an illustrator and picture book artist living in the sunny little town of Ventura, California. She has a deep love of reading, her mom's chilaquiles, and most kinds of ice cream. When she's not working, she can be found riding her bike, painting to Sam Cooke's music, or enjoying a rainy day with her partner, her baby, and her cute cat, Tuesday.
