Marjorie Sarnat

Marjorie is a best-selling author and illustrator of over 30 adult coloring books include the best sellers "Creative Cats Coloring Book" and "Owls Coloring Book." She also is an award winning mixed-media artist whose works are in collections worldwide. Born and raised in Chicago, Marjorie is an alumna of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and earned a BFA degree from Eastern Michigan University.

Marjorie's fanciful coloring book style evolved from her love of patterns, which she developed through an earlier career as a textile designer. Also influencing her style is her lifelong passion for collecting vintage illustrated books and ephemera. Her love for all things nostalgic finds its way into her coloring book imagery.

"As a coloring book artist I enjoy delighting the colorist with beautiful and detailed themes on every page. Each drawing displays a profusion of patterns and fanciful settings for the colorist to bring to life. I hope that the experience of coloring my artwork is inspiring, fun, and helps release everyday stress."
