Hello. I'm Mary Ann Fraser. I'm an author and visual artist. If I were to get more specific, I'd have to say I'm a children's book author, illustrator, designer, painter, and muralist, but it often all gets blended together as one influences the other. And it didn't all happen at once. It's been a gradual evolution. Following a degree in fine art from UCLA and post-graduate work at the Exeter College of Art and Design in Exeter, England I pursued a career in fine art and commercial  illustration. Eventually, I worked into larger projects - namely walls. After moving to beautiful Idaho, I found myself drawn back to my love of painting both in my studio and outdoors. I feel  lucky to love what I do and and even luckier that I can share it with others.
