Matt McElligott
I’ve been a working, published writer for about twenty years now, but I’ve been drawing and making up stories for as long as I can remember.
I grew up outside of Albany, New York and I live not far from there today. I went to college at Alfred University, then graduate school at the University of Buffalo. I have a studio in my home which I share with my wife, Christy, my son, and several animals, including two horses, a dozen chickens, two cats, some fish, and a dog. When I’m not working on illustration and children’s books, I spend my time teaching as a professor at the Sage College of Albany in Albany, NY. |
