Vicki Rhodes-Merryweather has dedicated her career to inspiring creativity through art. After years of teaching color and design across the US, Canada, Japan, and beyond, she created the ART GARAGE—a safe and positive space where children can explore their imagination, build confidence, and discover their unique creative voices.
“Every child must know that they are a miracle! Since the beginning of the world there hasn’t been or until the end of the world, there will not be another child like them!”
Staci Alexander has loved art and storytelling since she was a little girl. She delights in bringing meaningful stories to life through expressive characters and whimsical details, blending her background in design with a deep love for visual storytelling.
She lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with her husband, Trevor, and their Goldendoodle, Woodford. When she isn’t designing or illustrating, she enjoys quiet creative mornings, long walks with Trevor and Woodford, and quality time spent with friends and family.
Staci believes the stories children read today help shape who they become tomorrow, and she feels honored to play a small part in that journey.
