About the Illustrator

Sally Fantasia was born and raised in Massachusetts. The middle of three girls, she spent endless hours exploring the 2-acres around her childhood home and playing in the life-sized playhouse built by her dotting father, Sal. Her mother, Sylvia, was a renowned painter in New England and inspired Sally’s creative side at a young age. As a hobby, Sally envisions images of playful expressions and sketches them out. Often inspired by the adventures along life’s journey – military life, world-travel, raising her two daughters, and unforgettable moments that she wants to capture on paper. Sally delights in bringing laughter and joy and feelings of nostalgia to others through her art.
