Candice Hartsough McDonald started her career as a small child making friendship bracelets that she sold from her handmade catalog, and tracing the drawings out of her children’s books trying to pass them off as her own. Today she is a freelance illustrator who has actually drawn the pictures in a few published children’s books (she swears she did them all by herself), and sells prints, personalized portraits, jewelry, and stuffed animals at shows and through her online shop. She works primarily in watercolor and graphite, but has a special love for colored pencil and embroidery.
