Dana Regan

track author

Dana (Gustafson) Regan grew up in the small village of Lake Nebagamon in northern Wisconsin. It was very cold and snowy so she migrated south to St. Louis to get her BFA in Illustration from Washington University. It was very hot so she traveled west to Kansas City and made greeting cards for Hallmark. It was a very big company so she made a small studio in her home to freelance and make children's books. It was just right. She is living happily ever after. But she misses the cold and snow.
