Samantha Detoni is a 25 year old illustrator whose passion for storytelling shines through her vibrant and whimsical artwork. After achieving her Bachelor of Fine Arts at Northern Illinois University, Samantha is attending Graduate School to earn a Masters of Counseling with a focus in Art Therapy.

Originally from South Elgin, Illinois, Samantha has always been inspired by her childhood relics: cute characters, Nintendo games, and the enchanting worlds of Studio Ghibli films.
