Bio of Dorothia Rohner

 Dorothia is an award-winning illustrator and book author. She is currently working on her MFA in Children’s Literature and Illustration at Hollins University. She grew up in a big creative family that lived in the foothill mountains of Colorado outside of Boulder. She studied fine art, graphic design, and illustration at several universities. She ultimately found a degree program where she could combine her passion for art, nature and science at Iowa State University. She graduated first in her class in Biological Pre-Medical Illustration. Throughout her various careers as an illustrator and artist she worked on children’s books in her free time. Her illustrations and stories are inspired by nature, the magic of fairies, mythological monsters and fantastical places. She has strong digital illustration skills, but in this technological time, she prefers to draw and paint traditionally to keep the human touch alive in her books.

Her first authored picture book, I Am Goose!, (Clarion-2020) was listed in the Bank Street College of Education, Best Books of 2021-Humor Section. In 2022, her debut author/illustrator book, A Wish for Twins, The Tale of Our Two Miracles, (Doubleday, Penguin Random House) was published. She enjoys working with children and sharing her passions for writing, art, nature and imagination.
