About me

Beth Hannon Fuller is an illustrator and art teacher working in the tiniest little town right outside of Washington DC in Virginia, can you say 3 square miles?

She is the mother of two rambunctious little boys (Jamie and Colin) and now has a daughter (Anna) as well born in December 07′.

“Right now, my writing just helps me sort things out. I found this blog as a quick way to get some art up on the internet. I’m working with a friend to create an online portfolio/website coming soon! Ever since I started posting, my creativity has gone haywire in a fabulous way. I find myself creating, drawing, pasting and scribbling everyday…..it’s grand.”

I’ve been illustrating and drawing for years. In 1999, I started working with my dear friend Jennifer Niesslein on Brain,Child, The Magazine For Thinking Mothers. For the last decade (almost 10 years!) I have drawn up cartoons and art for our award winning magazine.

But I was feeling stuck in a rut with my artwork, personally…. and in October 07′ when I was so incredibly frustrated, I decided to get myself out of my slump by creating art in a 4×6 format and messing things up a little. I’ve always thought my art translated better in mixed media but couldn’t get it the way I wanted it and having 3 young children under the age of 4, not having much time….I figured I could get “something done” if it were postcard size and if I completely threw caution to the wind and just had fun. I’ve called them postcard prayers (my kind of praying). And ever since then I can honestly say things have looked up. And now it’s just something else I can be obsessed with (ha ha ha). I think in the new year I may move to 5×5’s squares, oh boy, oh my! Or at least some different shapes….we’ll see.
