This week, Zoe Stanek will be the artist in our booth!

About the artist:
"Zoe is a writer and artist who takes inspiration from landscapes and everyday magic. She writes whimsical fairy tales about women and girls: slice of life stories of worlds just beyond our own. Her art follows suit, depicting playful scenes and teeming with wonder. Zoe’s dream is to become an author of children’s books and novels that might someday be part of everyone’s libraries.

She has several years of editing and layout experience as well, having worked on several publications in Adobe InDesign.

She graduated from Pacific University in 2022 as a Creative Writing major with a double minor in Editing & Publishing and Fine Arts."
