Athena Lutton Illustration Illustrator and Fine Artist My appreciation of whimsy and beauty doesn't stop at the canvas.

When I'm not sipping tea and smudging pigment on my cheeks, you can find me being overly competitive over a board game, telling the same four jokes over and over, having a smiling contest with my daughter, or tripping over my feet. I'm also a lover of the up-cycling craze, and get a kick out of making what's old new again. I studied Illustration and Painting in scenic Savannah, Georgia and now reside in Colorado with my finely coiffed husband, our little girl, and two cats.

I have a Reading Rainbow sweatshirt that I wear probably at least once a week. My favorite thing about it is how many conversations it starts with people who have such a strong connection with the show and from their youth. So imagine my excitement when I found out last month that not only is the show being revived, but that it will be presented by THE (who I have been following on TikTok for years now), who is such a positive force in the world and for youth literacy. It has been quite a while since I attempted a , especially in , but I am just so stinking tickled that this show will live on for more generations, I couldn’t be stopped! 🌈 📖 🦋

Hugely surprised and honored to receive the 3rd place Artist’s Choice award at yesterday! Artist’s Choice feels particularly special because it’s not just because a bunch of my family and friends came out 🤣 And third place is the best because it leaves plenty of room for my head to get even BIGGER. My favorite part was how many people made a point to tell me my piece made them feel happy! Sharing some favorites from throughout the day. Now I’m gonna go rest my aching body (this is as close as I get to extreme sports) and snuggle my trophy. *takes a bow*

Day 5
“Mary Poppins took the sparkling gingerbread stars from her basket and glued them to the sky, where they twinkled furiously, sending out rays of golden light.”
