Pavonis Giron
Pavonis Giron is an author/illustrator with a love of bold colors and a taste for exploration, whether that be in the great outdoors or between city blocks. Their debut picture book, A Rainbow in Brown, was acquired by Holt/Macmillan in a three-book deal. Currently based in Milwaukee, Pavonis grew up amongst the sun-bleached rocks of the Mojave Desert which still inspire their work today. In addition to writing and illustrating books for children, Pavonis has also worked in product and game design and holds a BFA in Sculpture & Metalsmithing from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Loves to draw: Animals of all sorts, especially birds, reptiles, amphibians, prehistoric animals, and fantasy creatures. Heavy machinery is also a big draw. Illustration projects where they can explore under-appreciated creatures, crafts and culture are always at the top of their list—they love being pushed to learn about a subject in order to portray it in an endearing, educational, and visually appealing way.
