Tina Marie Carbone is a New York-based illustrator known by the pseudonym Palesile on social media. Majoring in illustration, she graduated with an AA from the Academy of Art University, and a BFA from the Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design with honors.

Having always been fascinated by the various forms of storytelling, Tina can often be found with her nose in a book or wiping her eyes after a great film. With an enthusiastic appreciation for animation and technology, Tina’s primary medium is digital painting and design. She takes pride in her extensive collection of books (there aren’t enough shelves in the world,) and is settling into the early years of a career in book illustration and cover design.

She hopes that the whimsy of her art appears as though being viewed from behind rose-colored film, from her heart to yours.
