Meet the Author Behind The Stone Guardians

Kickstarter Headings copy_edited_edited.

I create immersive fantasy novels and traditional artwork for readers who love getting lost in richly imagined worlds.

 

My novels combine classic epic fantasy storytelling with hand-drawn illustrations, maps, and world-building inspired by a lifetime of art, martial arts training, and working with horses.

 

If you enjoy character-driven fantasy with a strong sense of place, you’re in the right realm.

My work is play. Writing and art constantly inform one another, and this project has grown into multiple novels, companion sketchbooks, and an expanding body of illustrations and sculpture.

I’m excited to share this world and its characters with you as the journey continues.

Sword Icon Drawing by Kindrie Grove

Kindrie Grove is the author and illustrator of The Stone Guardians, an illustrated epic fantasy series combining traditional drawing, painting, and storytelling.

She graduated with distinction from the Alberta University of Art and works from her studio in British Columbia creating bronze sculpture, oil paintings, and traditional illustrations alongside her novels.

Her previous book A Field Guide to Horses and her lifelong experience with riding and horse husbandry, as well as years of martial arts training, brings realism and physical authenticity to the worlds and characters of the series.​​

 Kindrie lives near Penticton with her husband and son. Her studio manager is a handsome tuxedo cat named Oreo, who arrived as an uninvited guest and became an undisputed member of the family.
