About

Kathleen Marcotte is an illustrator from the suburbs of Chicago. She moved on to Baltimore, Maryland, where she earned her BFA in illustration at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). She’s now based in Cleveland, Ohio.

She loves to create playful illustrations that can appeal to both children and adults. She has been recognized by the Society of Illustrators, American Illustration, and 3x3 magazine.  Her clients include: Kids Can Press, The Washington Post, Highlights Magazine, Kitchn, Bravery Magazine, Sourcebooks, Blue Q, and Cricket Media. 

When she’s not drawing, she can be found running through the Metroparks, listening to too many podcasts, and howling at trains with her dog, Kuma.
