ALLY BRITT Artist & Art TeacherInstagram: @allyartsy95
I was born and raised in the Ozark hills of Southwest Missouri, in a little town called Gainesville. Inspired by the beautiful landscapes of the Ozarks and growing with Disney classics I fell in love with the artwork of some of their films like the landscapes in both "Sleeping Beauty" and "Pocahontas" Ever since I was a little kid, I always felt a pull towards artistic expression and would create drawings of both nature scenes and animals. As I grew up my love of art grew, and I began to develop my style as an artist. I eventually found my way to watercolor paints, which what I used on the artwork for this book.
When I became a teacher, my goal was to create the same joy in creating that my teachers gave to me. This series has pushed me to think outside the box when coming up with different ways to express the narrative in a visual form and I am so grateful for all the other artists that we have assembled as a team to create this series. I hope that this book and series not only shows kids that wonders of our world but also shows them that there are so many different styles of artistic expression and that anyone can be an artist.
