Meet the artist
Carolann Henning
Artist, storyteller, and mountain lover
“I wanted every page to feel like a trail through the mountains, with a new animal or breathtaking view around every turn.”
I am from Colorado and have been exploring nature and loving wildlife since I was little. My children encouraged me to illustrate this story for WildStork. My love for animals and nature always inspires my artwork and brings joy to my everyday life. I have learned that when you seek beauty, you will then find it.
My work is typically watercolor or acrylic, with bright colors and a blend of realism and abstraction. lam learning every day.
