About the Artist

Hi there! I'm NaShantá Fletcher, a Graphic Artist, Illustrator and Emmy Nominated visual storyteller. I'm a Chicago native, living in suburbs with my husband, son, and cat.  I currently work as Manager of News Graphic Design for WGN America. I've worked in broadcast television for 15 years, most notably as a Graphic Artist for the WGN Morning News. 

Outside of my day job, I work as a freelance illustrator (and work on my webcomic when I manage to find time). My art is primarily done digitally with Procreate and Clip Studio Paint. I also love to work with watercolor, ink, and illustration markers. I illustrated the front and back cover art for the Young Stracke All-Stars 10th anniversary vinyl album.

I'm also an active member of the SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators). ​My "Girl Power" illustration won the SCBWI Draw This contest in October 2018.

For children's books, I'm represented by Lara Perkins of
Andrea Brown Literary Agency
