gail maki wilson
Since receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Arizona State
University, Gail has spent over twenty-five years in the creative arts
industry developing and directing many graphic design projects.
This creative process was a natural step into the world of children’s
picture books. The conception of ideas, words, and images brought to life
through the pages of a book is a designer’s dream. In 2001 Gail joined the
Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and began the journey of
perfecting this craft, and realizing this dream.
Living in the Sonoran desert of Arizona since she was a child, Gail enjoys
everything the great outdoors has to offer. She lives with her husband,
three kids, and two dogs in Scottsdale. Her backyard is home to her very
own studio which she and her husband, with the help of friends and family,
designed and built themselves!
