Dana Petras is a passionate story-teller who honestly believes that a good story with a positive message can not only entertain but help to change the world a little at a time. Inspired by her time in New York City, she has created a children’s series about overcoming fear, staying true to yourself and finding hope and safety in friends and found family.

Robert Plater was born in 1988 in Queens, New York and raised in East New York, Brooklyn. His early childhood influences include comics, illustrations, Hip-Hop and Graffiti. While attending Towson University, his passion for drawing eventually transitioned into painting using Acrylic and oil paint, along with the more traditional teachings of drawing and painting. After receiving his BA from Towson, Robert moved on to pursue an MFA degree at the New York Academy of Art. At the Academy, Robert worked to expand his knowledge of human anatomy and traditional painting/drawing techniques. As a result, the reâ€appropriation of aesthetics and traditions within Robert’s work now serve to bridge the gap between his favorite genres and his extensive history of image making.
