My name is Brittany Cicchese and I'm an artist and writer residing in Denver, Colorado. I enjoy capturing emotion above all else, from expressive portraits to moody illustrations. My work is primarily digital with a heavy traditional influence; I love gritty pastel textures, the soft glow of watercolor, and the subtle color variations of natural media. When I'm not sketching or writing, you can find me browsing picture books at my local library, hiking around the beautiful Rocky Mountains, or spending time with my family. I received a BA in English and Studio Art from St. Olaf College in 2009 and my MLIS from San Jose State University in 2018. I have over eight years of experience working in public libraries, and my time spent there greatly inspired my career as an illustrator and author.
