Lacey Gunter does cut paper illustrations and writes whimsical
picture books. She came to illustrating and writing picture books in a
rather round about way. Growing up, she dabbled a little in art and
really did not like writing at all. Fearing she was not creative enough,
she reluctantly forwent her desire to study computer animation in
college for a more sensible statistics degree. But needing a creative
outlet after years of crunching numbers, she decided to try writing a
picture book on a whim. She was instantly hooked. Now, after helping students understand the story
in numbers by day, she writes and illustrates the stories in her head
by night, while the hubby and kids are gone to sleep.
Lacey is a
mom of three energetic children and a proud military wife. She lives
with her family on the bench of a beautiful mountain in Utah. She also
likes to cook, listen to audio books, garden and find challenging new
DIY projects.
