Whitney Mattila is a freelance illustrator living in the rolling hills of southern Indiana. After receiving a Bachelors of Fine Arts at the IUPUI Herron School of Art and Design in Indianapolis, IN, and a Post-Baccalaureate degree at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design in Minneapolis, MN, her expertise at drawing things other than her cat has increased. However, an artist is always growing, so she will continue to fine-tune her ability to draw things that are not cats.

    As a whole, Whitney likes to draw a variety of subjects and, while her artwork may be sometimes surreal or serious, she rarely takes herself as seriously. She loves to use watercolor, ink, and her computer for her artwork, though she doesn't limit herself to one or the other, and loves to experiment.

    It's rumored that Whitney lives with a cat named Winnie, who seems unaware of any reasons why her human needs to go outside instead of be with her or why her human must draw anything besides her. Winnie also demands frequent pettings from Whitney, and will throw up in front of her bed if she is not sufficiently spoiled rotten for the day. She also has a niece and nephew, the former of which wants to constantly play with her watercolors.
