About the Illustrator—Cynthia Meadows

Cynthia Meadows, a native Texan, draws and paints on anything she can find due to her passion to decorate and color the world. Whether it is cartoons on the sides of her homework in elementary school, paintings as Christmas gifts, murals or faux finishes on walls, or illustrations and storyboards for advertising agencies, she continually decorates the world. Cynthia's desire to look inside characters is why she loves to illustrate children's books, to create characters, and to give the reader a positive—sometimes humorous—view of life. God, beauty, and imagination are important elements in Cynthia's life and work. She believes this wonderful rosary book will bring readers a more clear understanding of the rosary and the comfort and peace of God.
