Molly Brewer grew up in Portland, Maine. From her childhood on, she was a voracious reader and devoured picture books, fantasy novels, folklore, and comics from around the world. Much of the inspiration for her work is a result of these early influences, and Ms. Brewer remains an avid collector of books, films and graphic novels with sumptous and lush visual content.
She was educated at the Art Institute of Boston and graduated with a BFA in illustration in 2008. Ms. Brewer lives in Massachusetts with her fiance.
