BIO:
Kent Culotta comes from a small town in Michigan, where he grew up with his parents, his brother, Mark, and his dog, Whiskers. Kent has always loved to draw. When he was five he covered an entire wall of his parents’ living room with his own gallery, each drawing taped lovingly in place. His parents were overjoyed. No blank piece of paper, used envelope, or post-it note is safe from his pencil.
Kent has worked as an artist in newspapers and on film, including several years in the animation industry. His first dream was to be a book illustrator and he’s happily making that dream come true. Kent's books include illustrations for "D is for Dump Truck", published by Sleeping Bear Press, and "The Twelve Days of Christmas in Kentucky". published by Sterling Children's Books. He also has had the great pleasure of collaborating with author Eric Ode and publisher Kane Miller on three books, “Dan, The Taxi Man”, "Busy Trucks on the Go", and the just released "Too Many Tomatoes." His illustrations have also been published in Highlights magazine. Kent is busily working away on his next book.
Kent now lives in sunny Southern California. He is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
