Courtney Pippin-Mathur
Courtney Pippin-Mathur is the author and illustrator of Maya Was Grumpy.
Courtney discovered her love for drawing by re-creating the characters from her favorite animated movies. It
wasn’t until college and an awesome teacher that she realized she could draw for a career. She switched from
government to Studio Art and never looked back. After graduating with a Studio Art degree she got married, had
a baby, and moved to the east coast. Since then, she has honed her style (wacky, vivid watercolor illustrations),
taught a few art classes, sold some paintings and had twin boys to keep their sister company. She lives in
Alexandria, VA, and this is her first picture book.
