Elizabeth! Nice going on your new show!
I really love your colours, and your animal characters look so lively, and they’re doing such interesting things, I want to know more. Do any of these come from stories, or are they scenes you imagined?
Good idea, Guy, to walk us through the show so we could see how perfect the library setting is for your daughter’s work. Grouping them throughout here and there means new treats at every turn.
(They really knew how to design libraries then, eh?)

The talent and creativity in your family is so bountiful, Guy AND that you and your family know how to get them to there to share. I LOVE Elizabeth’s works. She doesn’t need to worry about college, imo. These days with the internet and a few contacts, she can go straight to her target as in this video and she’s on her way! Beautiful, delightful. I think my Sleepy-Sneezy the Snake may have to meet your daughter…he needs a proper rendition.:-)

No RISD has not sent for her yet. In fact I dont know which school would be best for someone going into ilustration.Growing up around a ton of Architects I always heard of young people going to RISD.She really wants an apprenticeship around one of her heros. Victoria Chess is an old family friend and is here in Ct part of the year. Sendack is ten miles away but 90 or something.The whole family love Kevin Hankes but he is out in Wisconsin.We really dont have the money for college anyway .

I really enjoyed Elizabeth’s illustrations…you can tell she has had some excellent advice and understands her audience. I was visualizing the text that would accompany…the mouse on the sponge made me laugh. One of my former students just got her first book deal…she was so excited. Did Elizabeth sent in a portfolio to RISD? Just had 2 students graduate from there. Thanks for posting and tell her best of luck!

We have joked that with a book deal of two she could afford to go to RISD someday . She is working on a book with a wonderful woman at the moment . We will see .. All the best , Guy
