I am Galadriel Watson. I’ve been writing, drawing and being non-stop creative since childhood, when I penned the spellbinding “Amy Goes to the Olympics”—typed by my grandmother on a manual typewriter, illustrated by me and bound in green construction paper.

I’ve since honed my writing skills through years of practice, plus through my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from the University of British Columbia, where I earned honours like the Penguin Random House/Hazlitt Award in Creative Writing. I also have a couple of other university degrees, including bachelors in writing and commerce.

As for artwork, I’ve always had my hand in something, including comics. Linocutting is my current passion, and my prints often combine my love of words and images—yet another way to tell a story and move people.

I live in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada, with my husband, dog and two cats. I have two grown children, who are the pride of my life.

Thank you for checking out my work!
