I. Horton is an artist, designer, and storyteller with a lifelong love of creativity and the natural world. With years of experience in watercolor, sculpture, and graphic design, Horton now brings vivid worlds to life through digital painting on a drawing tablet -blending imagination, color, and heart into every page. Growing up by the sea, Horton spent countless days surfing and exploring tide pools, gaining a deep respect and intimate understanding of the ocean and its creatures. That connection to nature inspires many of Horton’s children’s books, where sea animals and forest friends share lessons about kindness, courage, and curiosity. Whether sketching waves, wandering through the woods, or dreaming up new adventures, Horton’s art and stories celebrate the magic of the natural world and the boundless imagination of childhood.
