Coffee Talk Illustration by Ann Curch Gagliano

Have you ever had so many ideas buzzing around your head that you didn’t know what to do with them all? Or woken up in the middle of the night to write down a dream before it disappeared? If so, you might be a storyteller!

Ann Curch Gagliano is a storyteller who loves to tell tales through her drawings. She grew up in Scotch Plains, NJ, where she spent her days doodling, dreaming, and imagining big adventures. Later, she attended Parsons School of Design to study illustration.

After graduating, Ann worked as a storyboard illustrator and designer, helping create ideas for big projects. She also freelanced and won numerous awards for her art at juried shows!

Now, Ann lives just outside Boston, MA, with her brilliant husband and their adorable corgi, Violet. She spends her days bringing her dreams to life through writing and illustration. And guess what? The best stories are still on their way!
