Paisley (née Hansen) Yazel is an illustrator based in Northern Indiana.

Yazel’s art career began in high school as she illustrated children’s books and covers for self-published authors. She studied fine art at Ball State University, graduating cum laude with a BFA and a concentration in animation. After school, Yazel has worked as an independent artist, primarily in surface pattern design.

Yazel’s work is inspired by religion, Western folklore, the North American wilderness, and an irreverent sense of humor.

Yazel lives with her artist husband, a small hound, a large flock of fowl, and one of hopefully many more children. When not creating, she enjoys growing, foraging, fermenting, cooking and preserving food.
