Carrie Anne Bradshaw

Carrie Anne is a graduate of UC Santa Barbara, with a Bachelor of Arts in Studio painting, and a Master’s Degree in Illustration from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.

Carrie Anne creates vibrant illustrations filled with movement, warmth, and wonder. Working primarily in watercolor with ink, colored pencils, gouache, and digital media, her art brings stories to life through expressive characters, with color, and a touch of whimsy. Inspired by the magic of childhood, the natural world, and the joy of storytelling, her illustrations invite young readers into imaginative worlds they’ll want to revisit again and again.

In her spare time, Carrie Anne loves to oil paint, needle felt, and go on hikes with her kiddo. She is also obsessed with the ocean, fish that swim in it, spooky ghost stories, good coffee, and baking.

Currently, Carrie Anne lives in the SF Bay Area with her husband Clyde, daughter Lily, and their puggle Amber.
