Illustrator: Susan Hudson
Susan lives in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. A lot of her work in the past is
an exploration of classic fairy tales. In recent exhibits she has done more
work revolving around nature, which is inspired by her passion as an avid
gardener. Often her work has abstract qualities.
Studio work done by her in Lunenburg is more versatile which includes a
range of media that utilizes painting and collage with photographic or computer
created images. In 1999, Hudson was elected into the Royal Canadian Academy of
the Arts.
Printed in Canada, in 1987 this book was published in both the Canada
and US. Each spread comes with a page and text to read, then a wonderful picture
with a quote that follows on the next page. The entire book is layed out like
this.
The beauty of this book is its uniqueness in illustration and appeal.
It’s easy enough for a child to pick up and read but also has fairly deep
quotes and messages that can register with an older audience. Also the copy
I found appears to have her signature? Experts?
