Jess Mason is drawn to a variety of themes in her work. She is inspired by history, folk art, medieval manuscripts, Renaissance maps, and the sleeping positions of her cat. If she had a superpower, it would be time travel. As that's not possible, transforming memories, stories, and experiences into illustration is the next best thing. She found it both fascinating and inspiring to venture into Lia's world and view World War II through the lens of a child living through it. Visit her at www.jessmasonillustration.com.
