Candace Ott's love for drawing began the moment she could hold a pencil and has found its way into many aspects of her life. After illustrating her first children's story for a school project,  it became her dream to one day illustrate a published children's book. Candace continued to follow her passion for art and went on to become a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. Candace resides in Southern California with her loving and supportive husband, Matthew, and their beautiful daughters, Emilee and Hailee.
