edit data

Colleen Stiles is best known for her detailed pen & ink drawings which depict a conceptual interpretation of reality infused with fantasy. Her work exemplifies an appreciation of nature, animals and worlds where magical creatures, uncharted landscapes and ethereal beings come to life. Other mediums used in her illustrative work include watercolor, acrylic, graphite and colored pencil.

Inspired by the art, Colleen started telling the stories behind the drawings. This is how her first children’s book, “Otis the Donkeysus” came to life.

The first story in the series is "Fox Finds a Pet". The first draft is written and I am working on the illustrations.
I am also just starting to work on an illustration project for a new children's book by author Tony Thomas.
Lastly, I would like to return to a half written fantasy novel, "After Wonderland". This has been sitting on my computer for several years now. I love the characters and the story, but have simply not had the time and energy needed to work on it. I hope to breath new life into it in 2020!(less)

I was sitting at my desk one day doodling, and I ended up drawing this sweet, forlorn little winged donkey looking up at the sky. I loved this little pen and ink drawing, and I kept looking at it. The more I looked, the more I felt like his story needed to be told. Why did he look so sad? The story evolved from that simple drawing.(less)
