Wynne Brown has worked as a lifeguard, house cleaner, painter of carousel horses, pizza waitress, illustrator of spider private parts, and journalist. She holds a bachelor's degree in etching from Skidmore College, one master's degree in biology and scientific illustration from the University of Arizona, and another in communications from the University of Tennessee.
Her award-winning work has appeared in numerous books and in periodicals including Popular Science, Western Horseman, Arizona Highways, and many newspapers, as well as online venues such as DiscoveryHealth.com, DesertUSA.com, and EnvironmentalNewsNetwork.com.
She returned to Arizona in 2000 and -- when not writing books -- is now developing multi-media science materials for K-12 students. She and her husband still have hopes of finishing building their straw bale house in the Chiricahuas, carefully supervised by various horses, dogs, and cats.
