She spends her days scribbling away and drawing by the sea.
Realizing she might make a career out of this, she graduated with a degree in illustration from Falmouth University and has since illustrated all kinds of wonderful things from picture books to reusable bags.
Unfortunately for her parents, this was often on their walls and furniture...with her mother\'s lipstick.
Samara Hardy has always loved to draw.
After earning a BA in psychology from UCLA, an MA in child development from CSU Sacramento, and a PHD in education from UC Davis, Janay still loves storytelling! Follow her on Twitter @janaybrownwood and visit her on the web at www.janaybrownwood.com .
