Maureen O'Brien

Majoring in Illustration with a BFA from Kendall College of Art and Design/Ferris State University, Michigan, and an MFA from the Hartford Art School/University of Hartford, Connecticut, I worked mainly in advertising and a variety of publishing venues, creating characters and brand images, licensing designs and educational materials/books in southwest Michigan and eventually landing in Frankliln, Tennessee, working out of my home studio. I provide Illustrations and designs for a variety of clients, as well as illustrating children's books & magazines. I work in traditional, digital & mixed media. I have been in various facets of the publishing industry for over 20 years and I also enjoy teaching painting/printmaking and illustration classes as well as book publishing illustration.
