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 tends to get all blended together. 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, commercial  illustration, and writing. Eventually, my work expanded onto walls and the page with numerous murals and books to my credit. After moving to Idaho, I found myself drawn back to my love of painting both in my studio and outdoors and my writing branched out as well to include young adult and middle grade. I feel  lucky to love what I do and and even luckier that I can share it with others.
