Charlie Shifflett

I began my career as a journalist. In the decades since, I have held writing and storytelling roles both in nonprofit and in corporate communications, while also taking on side projects as a creative writer and illustrator.

These side projects include authoring and illustrating a Substack newsletter and publishing both a collection of poetry titled Accomplices and the illustrated children’s book A Breakfast for Little Bear.

As an artist and illustrator, I work almost exclusively in watercolor, sometimes experimenting with watercolor cutouts for collage and diorama works.
