Mary Anne Lloyd comes from a family of artists who experimented in different media, including architecture, fine art and art education. She originally intended to be a graphic designer, earning her BFA in Graphic Design from MECA&D, and worked at Lightspeed and Corey McPherson Nash, two studios in Boston, but began to notice a tendency to draw all her design projects. In 1988, she moved back to Portland and started her illustration career. Her work has primarily involved kids, family, animals, food, and handwritten typography. She has over 25 years of illustration experience and a wide and varied client list with work that ranges from editorial to advertising campaigns to branding.
