Carrie is an author and illustrator of picture books, including the forth coming, Do You Like My Pants?, which is her author/illustrator debut. She also works in stationery and surface design, and is forever drawn to a limited color palette.
Carrie grew up on a farm in central Missouri where she had plenty of space to let her imagination run wild. She loves the sound of an approaching thunderstorm, the taste of a home grown tomato, and the delight of a well timed joke.
She lives in Columbia, Missouri.
