Bio:

Anita Ashfield-Salter is a graphic designer turned Illustrator. She’s originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico and now lives in Denver, Colorado with her family. She has a BFA in Graphic Design from NMSU and worked in advertising for over twelve years.

In 2009, she created Monkey Mind Design and opened an Etsy shop. It’s been a dream come true for her to run her own business and see her work on products like greeting cards, gift wrap, pocket mirrors, stickers, and tea towels.

In the Fall of 2015, a local artist group suggested she start a daily sketchbook for personal work. She was hooked and discovered a whole new voice through those daily drawings. Currently, she's been challenging herself to dig deep and try a variety of styles, patterns, hand-lettering and children’s illustration. It’s been a game-changer to refocus her attention to daily personal work and having a bit of fun doing it at the same time!
