"i'm a children's book illustrator, a gallery artist, and a color-obsessed creative that loves to stay busy making stuff. from paintings to purses, to sculptures and cookies, i exist to make the world a brighter place. books and animation, good tv on dvd, and more books. i bleed in crayola crayon colors and cover my knicks & scratches with cartoon character band-aids. please enjoy my work. i hope it makes you smile."

WAM participating artist Hallie Gillett

"I bleed in crayola crayon colors, I revel in caffeine, I rejoice that God has shared his creative soul with mankind so that we can make art. I can't help but paint and create and spread the joy. I started as a children's book illustrator and morphed into a 'more conventional' version of an artist for the sake of spreading the joy of color in a larger variety of images and forms. I'm easily inspired by books, toys, nature (especially outer space), fabric patterns, and mostly anything shiny."
