ABOUT THE ARTIST
SYLVIA MASEK
Sylvia graduated from Kent State University with a BFA in Visual Communication Design. After spending a few years in advertising and other parts of the design business, she found herself yearning to do more illustrating. In 2002 her studio, The Power of Whodo was born. From that moment she found herself rejuvenated, striving to help small companies realize their full potential and also creating art work that evokes a sense of childhood and wonder. As a published children’s book illustrator, she enjoys making kids laugh and tries to work a little of smile in to every project that she takes on.
