Originally from Salt Lake City, UT, Aubry Kae Andersen (AKA A. Ka) now lives in Seattle, WA. Never one to sit on her laurels, she pursues her own flavor of pan-creativity through the Seattle indie art and literature scenes. As the owner of The AKArchy, her design firm, she offers services in illustration, graphic design, web development, and creative writing. She is also the writer and illustrator of "Isaac the Fortunate," her debut serialized novel in her "Paradox" trilogy, available through the indie publisher Fuzzy Hedgehog Press.
Aubry served as President of the Seattle non-profit A/NT Gallery (formerly known as Art/Not Terminal) from 2013-2014. In the spirit of opening the Seattle arts community to all artists, she founded the Indie Book Fair, an event open to self-published and small press authors. Her books are available for purchase through Fuzzy Hedgehog Press and all major online retailers. Her fine art can be found at her Pioneer Square studio and other galleries and boutiques throughout Seattle.
