Amy MeissnerIf one has the chance to bring Amy Meissner to their classroom, jump on it!... One of the best presentations I've witnessed in my sixteen years of teaching art... Truly an inspiration for students. Amy Meissner currently lives and works in Anchorage, Alaska. Her two, bad orange cats keep her company in the studio all day long where she paints, draws, writes, cuts fabric, and moves cats off the things they aren't supposed to sleep on. Creating art for children's books is her favorite job, but she also illustrates for posters and articles. She recently completed an MFA in Creative Writing and has undergraduate degrees in both Art and Textiles. Amy also loves to visit schools and talk to young people about her work. She thinks this is the best way to learn all about the way books are created and often wishes she had met a children's book illustrator when she was young, too. See if Amy's going to be coming your way. Check out her calendar of book signings and other events. |
