Walling, Sandra (1948 - )
Genre: Children's Literature, Illustrator
Author and illustrator Sandy Walling was born in Red Bank, NJ, and moved to Maine in 1971. She lives in Yarmouth, Maine.
A 1999 graduate of University of Southern Maine, Walling worked in the printing industry for most of her life, including for Maine Medical Center, managing its printing/mail and copy facilities; and for newspapers, printers, an advertising agency, and as marketing production manager for Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers. She has also been a board member of the Maine Graphic Arts Association.
After retiring in 2002, she returned to school to study computer graphics.
Walling has published several children's books.

Her books are published by Abernathy Publishing House, which Walling founded in 2003.
