Deborah Cuneo is both a freelance
illustrator and an elementary
school
art teacher. Although she was
never allowed traditional coloring
books,
from a very young age she was
given whatever art supplies she
desired,
along with an endless supply of
blank paper. Those were the
perfect
conditions under which she could
tap into her right brain at will
and
develop her creative side. It also
encouraged the beginning of a
slightly compulsive art supply
collection that she still
maintains and
enjoys experimenting with in her
studio on Long Island, NY. Deborah
is
a current member of SCBWI (Society
of Children's Book Writers and
Illustrators), LICWI (Long Island
Children's Book Writers and
Illustrators) and CBIG (Children's
Book Illustrators Group).
