About Our Artists

Christopher A. Chaplin:

Mr. Chaplin was born (in August 1970), and grew up in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in a slummy metro housing unit (Swansea Mews) that is still nestled within the upper middle class village of High Park/Swansea.

Being the first born of three children (one brother and one sister) who where raised single-handed by his Jamaica-born mother, Christopher's quest for freedom from the hustle of the housing projects inspired him to gain knowledge through work experience such as delivering newspapers at the age of 11 to becoming a trend-setting entrepreneur in the pet food industry during the early 1990s. Despite his positive goals, Christopher struggled with establishing his external identity until he finally stumbled upon his purpose and learned to express himself through writing, which mainly took the form of children's literature.

Christopher is a single parent of a child dually diagnosed with autism and hemophilia. He also has two older daughters named Taycia & Brianna. He graduated in 2005 as an Early Childhood Assistant and is, independently, studying child psychology and children's literature. Christopher is dedicated to bringing to light the positive aspects of parenting children who have special needs.

Looking back at past desires, the author says, “I have always been fascinated by the power of a good book.”

Christopher began his professional writing career in the early 1990s when he was encouraged to create commercial pieces such as monthly newsletters, flyers, and press releases for the pet food delivery service he was involved with at the time. He is a self-taught writer who possesses a refreshing enthusiasm to learn and continue to experiment with new ways of expressing his unique stories, which are not only engaging children's stories, but also tools for acquiring life skills. His mission is to motivate other individuals to think positively about whatever challenges they might face in their lives.

Christopher founded MasterpieceFactory Inc. as an outlet for artist who exist with special needs and have developed solutions for coping with them. Christopher hopes to empower readers to develop their own ideas and solutions for parenting developmentally challenged children or people who suffer from other diseases, disabilities, or disorders.

Dr. Bob Rich, Editor:

Dr. Bob Rich is a professional editor who does contract work for several independent publishers. However, he always makes time for writers who want to polish up their work before submitting it, or self-publishing. Bob looks at his work as much as a matter of teaching as of just suggesting changes, because early in his writing career, he benefited from three separate editors who did that for him. He has 13 published books, four of which have received international awards.

Pamela J. Masi, Illustrator:

PAMELA J. MASI is a self-taught artist who is best known for her boldly whimsical, less traditional, approach to illustrating quality educational children's books, magazines, and other visual resources. Some of her past titles include, Alex Anklebone and Andy the Dog by award winning poet Richard Stevenson, Doogie Dinosaur Learns a Lesson by motivational speaker Judy A. Crawford, and Sunny's Grand Adventure by author Valerie Falconer.

Currently in development is a small collection of stories that are specifically designed for children with unique learning needs. They are all written by the very talented Christopher A. Chaplin and will be produced by -MasterpieceFactory Inc. Also in the works is a narrated musical Christmas story based on the song, Peekin' -by acclaimed musician Lacey Rolland.

Aside from illustrating, Pamela enjoys taking long nature walks with her devoted husband and two outstanding children. She also loves her volunteer work for a variety of charitable services as part of a worldwide relief society organization.

“I believe that effective visual communication to a child's imagination is a critical teaching tool. It must always be thoughtfully utilized –and certainly, never underestimated.”
