Jill McElmurry was born in California and grew up in Taos, New Mexico. She studied art for two years at SUNY, Purchase and The School of Visual Arts in New York, but mostly she's been drawing and painting on her own for a long time. Not that she had much choice: both her parents were illustrators, and even her grandparents were artistic professionals (her grandfather painted the backgrounds for the 1939 classic King Kong). When she's not producing books, Jill enjoys working with her husband and dog on their Higglety Pigglety Farm in New Mexico.
