Amy Ruppel
Born and raised in the Kettle Moraine woods of WIsconsin near the Mammoth Ice Age Center. She drew plants and comics, dug up fossils and went for endless forest walks before being chased back home by some territory-crazed animal. But the birds were always kind. Her love for nature and science led her to an art and illustration career, and to the Pacific Northwest. She still hasn't stopped drawing. Amy now works as an artist, illustrator and so-so gardener in beautiful & green Portland, Oregon USA.
