ABOUT YM Cho

YM Cho is an award-winning artist and designer. Her interests in art and design began when  her father brought home a large dry-erase board with markers while she was a little girl. She used the dry erase board as her sketchbook to draw every day and night. Ultimately, her interests in art and design led her to pursue her university studies and a career in that field at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree with an emphasis in visual communications and fashion illustration.

YM is also a contributing print designer for Polychrome. Check out her work  at https://www.polychrome.design/Stores/Prints/YMCho

YM is the illustrator for Will's Adventure To The Candy Mountain written by Dr. Gerry Haller. For more information about the picture book, check out www.childrenarespecialpress.com
