Marynia Gottfred

Marynia Gottfred was born and raised in Tennessee. She currently lives in Nashville with her husband and their beloved doodle, Winnie Dog Harris. Marynia learned to knit when she was 3 years old, so you’d really think she’d be better at it by now. Since graduating college, Marynia has worked on several animated projects, most recently The Wingfeather Saga. She is also involved with the planning of Animation Y’all Expo. An avid reader and staunch supporter of local libraries, Marynia prides herself on never having had an overdue library book. She loves to cook, bake, and host parties.

Joel Guthrie

Somehow, Joel Guthrie is here in this world. He draws a little. He makes the drawings move sometimes. He makes videos. He makes jokes. He puts the jokes in the videos. He listens to Beatles, Beach Boys, and mostly Beach Boys and won’t stop talking about them. He watches goofy old movies with his whirlwind bride-to-be. They go a lot of different places, including the sky (she’s a pilot). He wonders what it was like to live a human life before civilization made it weird. He also gets to edit on an animated children’s TV series called Dead Sea Squirrels with his hero and favorite cucumber Mike Nawrocki. Joel has made some cool things himself. One day, he hopes to make another cool thing.

Ellie Lenz

Ellie Lenz is a boardgame, coffee, and Jesus addict admittedly. When she’s not working on the Wingfeather saga, (a few too many hours over 40 hrs), she's off making art in “the real world” TM. She loves getting her work into physical media whether it’s getting her little 3D sculptors resin printed or laser cutting trinkets, or crocheting stuffies. (She’s crafty) Her dream is to one day be able to work in a career where she can hold her product at the end of the day. After quite a bit of life shifting, her era of freelance has since turned to “friend-lance” but her dreams of making cool stuff has not changed.

Aedan Peterson

Aedan Peterson is an illustrator and visual developer born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee. He’s been busy for the last few years, illustrating the new edition of Pembrick’s Creaturepedia, A Ranger’s Guide to Glipwood Forest, The Tree Street Kids books, and Dead-eye Dan and the Cimarron Kid. He’s also delved into the world of animation working as a character designer and background artist for The Wingfeather Saga animated series. When he’s not painting trees with his wife or playing with his daughter, he can be found bird watching, or eating chips and salsa, or doing both at the same time. 

Natalie Peterson

Natalie Peterson is a world renowned rebel. For the last five years, she has spent her days in an office making whimsical art with her mad genius husband. When she’s not at the ol’ desk she’s filibustering about town with her three year old partner in crime. All that to say- be on the lookout for Natalie Peterson- she’s risky business. 

Also she’d like to put on record that she is a children’s book illustrator and background painter currently working on the Wingfeather Saga TV series.
