"Manelle Oliphant is an artist and children's book author and illustrator from Salt Lake City. Her love of art and stories began with the books and shows she enjoyed as a child, from the Chronicles of Narnia to the Faerie Tale Theatre. Since earning a degree in illustration, she has worked on many children's books. While she uses some digital tools for her work, her main love is working with watercolour paints, which give her work its unique and dreamy look."
"There was a TV show that my parents would record onto VHS tapes called Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theatre, and a lot of my love for fairy tales came from watching it. I enjoyed seeing how they could tell the story of Cinderella in one way, and Disney could do it in a whole different way. As I got a little older, I'd go to the library and check out beautifully illustrated books of fairy tales."

She earned a degree in illustration and has worked on many children's books. She uses some digital tools but primarily works with watercolour paints to achieve a unique, dreamy look. Old fairy tales and the work of illustrators like Trina Schart Hyman and P.J. Lynch inspire her. She has focused on watercolour landscapes to improve technique and persists with traditional media despite occasional industry bias.
