Contact the Illustrators of Holly Bea's books
Kim Howard is the illustrator of more than 25 charming children's
books, including six books with Holly Bea. Many people don't realize that
illustrators often sell the original paintings (reasonably priced!) from
children's books, which make delightful additions to the walls of nurseries
and children's rooms. I am thrilled to have one hanging on my office wall!

Joe Boddy now
lives in Missoula, Montana. He spent much of his youth wandering the willow
patches and aspen groves that line a small mountain steam called Sourdough
Creek. Growing up, his work included fencing, irrigating, milking, haying,
and tending to livestock. Time away from school and chores was filled with
hunting, fishing, drawing, and painting. His love of the Bridger Mountains,
the Spanish Peaks, and all the wild creatures that inhabit them was only matched
by his love of art. While earning his degree in fine art from
Montana State University Joe met and married his very talented and lifelong
sweetheart, Marlys. As full time professional artists they have worked together
to build a home and studio in the foothills of the Bitterroot Mountains where
they often quietly watch baby Canada Geese once they are out in the water.
As happy grandparents, they are more dedicated than ever to each other, their
art, travel, reading, children, and grandchildren.
If you are interested in commissioning an illustration, purchasing art or contacting
Joe, you can e-mail him at us@boddyart.com.
