Paula Becker At a very early age, Paula was bitten by the cartoon bug. Her literary consumption consisted of Archie comics, Mad Magazine, and the daily "funnies". Not satisfied with simply enjoying the work of other cartoonists, she created her own comic strips and characters for family and friends. Eventually earning a BFA and teaching certification in the early '80's, Paula was an elementary school teacher for seven years before embarking on a career as a freelance illustrator in 1990. Since that time, she's created fun and whimsical visuals for a variety of print media, from magazine spots and spreads, books and book covers, to posters, cards and calendars. A transplanted Texan, Paula lives with her husband in Montreal, Quebec but retains a studio space in South Texas to which she can flee from the long, Canadian winters. Her clients have included: Scott Foresman, Word Publishing, Tommy Nelson, Group Publishing, Innovative Kids, Living The Good News, Bright Ideas Books, American Brewers Association, Bethany House Publishers, David C. Cook, Focus on the Family, Christian Parenting Today, Easy Street Design, LifeWay Christian Resources, Standard Publishing, Sparrow & Jacobs, American Tract Society.
