Devin Elle Kurtz is the bestselling author and illustrator of The Bakery Dragon. She's been painting in Photoshop since the age of two when her artist mom first offered her a tablet pen. Her magical scenes combine fantasy elements with environments that feel visceral and real. She was the lead background painter on the animated show Disenchantment, and has contributed to publications such as Beasts of the Four Nations, Escape from Atlantis, How to Heal a Gryphon, and Mother of Sharks. She lives in Pasadena with her dog, Kira, and thirty-three houseplants, and is hard at work on The Bakery Dragon's next adventure.
