KALY QUARLES is an illustrator and lettering artist specializing in charming illustrations with vintage style. Growing up on a farm in Texas, she spent her childhood digging for treasures under oak trees and pining for Nancy Drew's adventures in old barns. The allure of secret passages and attics filled with storied relics will always quicken her pulse. She later studied Interior Design and had a respectable stint in architecture before leaping into illustration. She lives in Salt Lake City with one handsome fella and four rascally cats.
