Come Meet Me!

Come meet me at the Chesterton Arts Center in Chesterton, IN, as I and other members of the SCBWI-IL display our children's book illustrations at a show which will run the entire month of October. The opening celebration is Sunday, October 7th from 1-4pm. A diverse group of talented children's artists will be there to meet, demo and lecture, and it is a wonderful opportunity to see amazing art and purchase children's books. I hope to have copies of the book I illustrated "My New Pet" there if I am able to nab a few from the publisher in time for the show. There is also a silent auction featuring an illustrated alphabet, where my illustrated "M" will be available for bidding.

One of the nicest surprises, which I did not expect at all, is that the SCBWI-IL is featuring my illustration "Symphony In The Pond" on the show's promotional materials!
I hope to see you there!

    Well I can see why this illustration is a main feature Kate! It nearly leaps off the page (or screen). Anyhow, congrats on your success--your hard work and skill is obviously paying off. I'll keep my eyes open for this book as well--thanks for the heads up!

    Joan, I TOTALLY wish you could come to the opening, too, but I know living in Hawaii would make for quite a journey! I know you will be there with me in spirit. You are such a good friend. Thanks!

    I really like this illustration you've done here. I'd like to see more illustrations from you like this. It's realistic yet stylized. :)
