THE ILLUSTRATOR
Lila Parker lives on a small farm in the Siloam Springs, Arkansas area and, with her husband, Chris, raise most of their own meat, eggs and produce.
She gave up her job as a cake decorator in a well known bakery in Dallas, Tx and put aside her college education to raise an unplanned for baby, Elijah. Since returning to Siloam Springs, she and Chris have had another son, Ethan. Between holding babies, and pinching pennies, Lila finds time to work on her illustrations for the USS M. Curie Discoveries and decorate various goodies for friends and family.
The Tells of Cutezar is Lila's first serious attempt at illustrating. Until now, her art has been recreational with some training in high school. She aspires to formally study art and its techniques. Meanwhile, she is learning by doing, The Twins of Zae is her second book with her illustrations included.
