Haley McAndrews (Red Stone Art Studio), an award-winning artist from central Iowa, was born in South Carolina. She was introduced to Adobe Photoshop as a teenager and much of what she learned about digital painting was self-taught. In 2009 McAndrews graduated from St. Cloud State University with a Bachelor's degree in Art Photography. In addition to photography, she also draws and paints with watercolors and acrylics. Her first book, "If Only I Had" (a children's picture book) was published in 2021 and her second children's picture book, "Counting Toasters 1 to 10" was published in 2023. She launched her Red Stone Art Blog in the spring of 2022. Her third illustrated book, "Toaster Haiku" is set to be released in early 2024. McAndrews enjoys reading, hunting for geocaches, and listening to many different kinds of music. She also loves late-night cartoons and vampires.
