Katy Tanis

Katy Tanis, also known as Daughter Earth, is a fabric designer, explorer, illustrator and children’s book author. She lives and works at the Jersey shore.  She spends most of her days chasing deadlines but occasionally wanders to far-off places, like Madagascar, where she chases primates instead. Her work is inspired by specific ecosystems and the wonderful webs of life that they contain.

She has a soft spot for the weirdos of the animal kingdom. She’s never met a colour she didn’t like.
