THE STORY FACTORY

Welcome to The Story Factory

We are a collaborative creative studio where stories are built through the combined power of writing and visual art. We bring together narrative and illustration to create original story worlds, richly imagined children’s books, character-driven concepts, and immersive visual–written experiences.

The Story Factory is a home for creative collaboration, a showcase of new and upcoming works, and a place for readers to follow along as new worlds emerge one brushstroke and one sentence at a time. Paul brings decades of narrative experience and lived adventure; Cheryl brings global artistry, cultural technique, and visual storytelling mastery. Together, we bring stories to life through art and storytelling.

What we create

We are a boutique storytelling studio that produces:

  • Illustrated children’s books filled with warmth and imagination

  • Mixed-media story collaborations that blur the line between book and artwork

  • Visual-written concept pieces where characters, worlds, and scenes are developed through both writing and art

  • A flagship book, soon to be unveiled

  • Creative process previews shared through sketches, story excerpts, and moodboards

MEET THE MAKERS

Who together create stories that are both written and painted, producing a dual-medium signature style.

  • The Storyteller

    A pilot full of adventures turned writer, Paul has traded flight plans for plot lines. He brings adventure, heart, and a sharp storyteller’s instinct to every tale he writes.

  • The Artist

    A globally trained mixed-media artist, Cheryl turns imagination into color. With batik, block print, and every texture in between, she brings visual magic to life.
