Chrystal Creswell is an illustrator based out of Columbia, South Carolina. She has been scribbling creatures great and small her entire life, eventually becoming the zoological illustrator for Riverbanks Zoo in 2000. Throughout the years she also has had many opportunities working directly with domestic and exotic animals as a veterinary assistant, even as a traveling animal keeper for Eudora Farms. All of her scribbles are inspired from her experiences working with animals, being a mom and love of nature. Chrystal now enjoys her days at home and lives with her husband, four children and her trusty studio creature, Bella Louise(A wired hair terroir mix.) When she is not in her studio, she can be found at a local coffee shop, the zoo, softball games or solving the answer to the never ending question of, “What’s for dinner?”
