About the Illustrator

Cristina with Tom from "OnceThere Was A... Cat."

Cristina Cutino is 18 years old and lives in Cumming, Georgia, with her mother, father, and brother. She was only 4 years old when she started drawing, but artistry has been a part of Cristina well before she was even born. Many of Cristina’s relatives are very gifted and well-known artists in Italy. So, some would say...it’s in her genes. When Cristina is not drawing book characters, she enjoys sewing and designing clothes. She makes a lot of her own dresses and skirts, and clearly has her own sense of style.
