Amanda Crabtree

Author / Illustrator / Animation Artist​​​

Before beginning her career in picture books, Amanda worked as a pre-production artist at Marvel Animation Studios and Atomic Cartoons.

 

A recipient of the Bronze Award at the 2024 SCBWI NY Winter Conference Portfolio Showcase, Amanda primarily uses relief printmaking techniques to create her illustrations. 

 

Amanda lives in Durham, North Carolina with her family. When she isn't holed up in the studio, you'll find her bouncing around on a soccer field, catching up with friends at a local coffee shop, or she'll wave to you from the car window as she chauffeurs around her busy children.​​
