J.L. Barnes

On Twitter and Instagram, she often enjoys being mistaken for a guy because of her ramblings on horror movies, video games, and tabletop roleplaying.

Dalaine Bartelme
I always enjoyed drawing as a kid. In my adult life, I have had several careers including police officer, stay-at-home mom and most recently, home stager. When I started developing the concept for Colorpockit, I didn’t know any artists to draw the cards, so I started creating them myself. It has been very rewarding to rediscover the joys of drawing. I hope that everyone coloring one of my cards enjoys it as much as I enjoyed drawing them for you. In my free time, I do yoga, dance, and figure skate.
Mike Bartelme
My educational background is in art, design and human factors engineering. I use these skills to develop new products in the medical field. Designing Colorpockit was an opportunity to try something new, and creating the coloring decks took me back to my art school roots. When I'm not working, I enjoy playing volleyball, figure skating and making music in my basement.

Hi! My name is Kris. I have been living and loving Colorado since 2013 with my family. We follow the quote “Not all that wander are lost” in our family. We love to explore, create, love and try new things.
Painting and color are my jam! I am so excited to get to turn some of my fun and whimsical paintings and drawings into some coloring pieces for all of you! It’s such a fun way to get to look at art and then you get to add the color Fun!
I recently have started helping my 9 year old son, Teagan, in starting his own business. Some of the ideas are our ideas and maybe in the near future you will get to see a coloring packet of some of his amazing dragon drawings. Ya never know...
Happy Coloring!

Mary Lu Lovett
My “Do It Yourself” mom, who was a master quilter and fine crafts person, influenced my early years. I grew up and went to college in Western New York State. My art education degree landed me a job in Colorado. I have been creating since the early seventies.
