About me

Erin O’Toole

My first book was a letterpress version of Aesop’s Fables. Then I teamed up with author Tobey Hiller, and illustrated her book with one large painting, which was later published as a poster. I have illustrated many books for Sunset Gardens, the Audubon Society, and others. 
“Create your own Artist’s Journal” is a book I wrote about journal drawing, which is about making books, drawing in your garden, out in the wild, and sharing one’s art.
My sketches of animals, landscapes, and people serve as the basis for my oil paintings. I’m always learning more about painting and drawing life around me.
