Natalie Nelson is a Mexican-American illustrator living in Maine with her young family. Her colorful, whimsical illustrations seek to spark curiosity, kindle the imagination, and nurture memories of beloved fairy tales. She also enjoys drawing slice-of-life comics and romantic illustrations that leave the audience yearning for more. When she’s not drawing, she’s wrangling a spirited toddler, tickling a wriggly baby, swapping jokes with her spouse, and rubbing the bellies of her black cat and shelter mutt.  Natalie is a member of SCBWI.
