About The Artist  
     
  Holly Meade / Resume / Statement 
 

Art…its true effort is to open to us dimensions of the spirit and of the self that normally lie smothered under the weight of living.

  • J. Winterson

 

Printing from woodblocks is the medium I’ve been exploring these previous 7 years. This interest developed following a workshop with Printmaker Hester Stinnett at the Haystack Mountain School on Deer Isle in 2002.
 

Illustrating children’s books is the other focus of my work life. Since illustrating the first book in 1992, almost 30 books have followed. A number of these books have received recognition through awards, the two most notable being a Caldecott Honor for HUSH! A Thai Lullaby, written by Minfong Ho, and the Charlotte Zolotow Award for Creative Writing for John Willy and Freddy McGee
 

Education - Following completion of a BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design, various workshops have kept me engaged with others and their ideas. They include drawing, painting, printmaking, basket making, and fabric design.
