Hayley Blackwood
Hayley Blackwood is a children's book illustrator and character designer from rural North Carolina. Growing up in a town with only two stoplights and even fewer things to do, her childhood was spent creating stories and letting her imagination run wild. This is a lifestyle she never managed to grow out of. After graduating with a degree in animation in 2017, Hayley began developing the bright and warm artistic style you see today and quickly found her calling in the world of digital illustration. Today, she is on a mission to bring more empathy, inclusion, and light to children through her artwork. When Hayley isn't drawing she is often found reading romance novels, gardening with her husband Ben, and eating large amounts of ice cream.
