My name is Kate Pazzanese and I am an artist from Massachusetts. I earned my Associate's Degree in Graphic Design from Northern Essex Community College and my Bachelor's Degree in Animation from UMass Amherst. I am currently beginning my first steps as a book illustrator.

Much of my inspiration come from nature, especially forests and mountains, music, literature and video games. I mainly work with traditional mediums like watercolor and pen and ink, but also dabble in many other forms including digital work and clay. When not creating art I can be found sipping on tea with a good book, tending to my house plants and vegetable garden and playing Dungeons and Dragons with friends.
