Author, Illustrator, Zentangle Teacher

Sandy Steen Bartholomew is an author, illustrator, cartoonist, mixed-media artist, and a Certified Zentangle® Teacher, Sandy likes to fuse together all these passions, as well as hand-lettering and sketch-noting. She runs an Etsy store – Bumblebat™, and a studio – Beez Ink Studio, LLC, and publishes her own comics and Inspiration Sketchbooks (Bumblebat™ Books). 

Born in Guam, and raised in Massachusetts by a medical examiner/pathologist mother, Sandy was, literally, raised in a laboratory. To keep herself busy, she drew pictures, wrote stories, and made paper mache “specimens” – that glowed in the dark. Cartooning, illustration and photography kept her busy until she went to Brown University to study Egyptology. She also attended the School of Visual Arts, and then, finally, graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration. Sandy got her Masters in Applied Cartooning from the Center for Cartoon Studies in 2017, and is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Sandy lives with her daughter, Lilah, Minou the cat, and all her Inner Demons  – in their colorful, mixed-media house in New Hampshire.
