About Bookish Beasts

Carly Marie is a character designer and illustrator that resides in Clarksville, TN. She has always loved art and you can almost always find her with a pencil or a book in her hand. She had always dreamed of becoming an artist and being able to do this full time. Once she had her daughter she was determined to make her dream come true so that her daughter would grow up seeing that anything is possible with hard work and determination. Bookish Beasts combines both her love of reading and art together and has been so much fun to create. She now spends her days drawing dragons with a baby on her hip and an audio book in the background all because of people like you who support small businesses! She’d like to thank you for helping show her daughter dreams really do come true.Read their story
