Bio:

My name is Molly Cranch and I am an illustrator, artist, children's picture book maker, and arts educator based in Chicago, USA.

I am known for creating nature-inspired paintings on canvas, which I am grateful to have shown in galleries and museums across the country. Currently I am working on my MA in Illustration from Falmouth University, an endeavor which has opened up new possibilities for me related to drawing from life with mixed media. I enjoy drawing plants, favorite foods and recipes, and the movement of people passing before me.

My first picture book titled Hide-and-Seek was released in 2024.
