Big things are happening for illustrators here at Portfolio Center. Real-world projects like Stories for Bed, and an ongoing partnership with Jackson Fish Market. Our new PC Press offers you the opportunity to learn all about publishing as you illustrate your own and others' books. That's just the beginning. You'll learn editorial illustration, character development, digital illustration, illustration for web, 3D animation ... the list grows.

You'll have expert instructors to help cultivate your talent and sunny spaces in which to blossom (a new illustration wing that's warm, fun and full of inspiration). But with all this big-ness, we keep the program intimate. You can't get away with anything. You couldn't get lost if you tried. You might even wish you could sometimes.

Lindy spent most of her childhood in Europe and attended Weslyan College where she graduated with a BFA. Later, she enrolled at the Portfolio Center and has since illustrated campaigns for such notable companies as Villeroy & Boch, Quaker Oats, Coors, Delta, Kelloggs, and Nestle.

What she really loves is illustrating children's books. You can find her books in your local bookstore: The Book of Wizard Craft, The Book of Wizard Magic, I Live Here, The Sunset Switch, and The Seaside Switch. Lindy lives in beautiful, historic Madison in Georgia - the town Sherman refused to burn. "The South has edges and lore," she says, the things that most inspire her.
