Picture This
The Art of Storybook Illustration for the Child in All of Us“Logic will take you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” – Albert Einstein
What do you feed a hungry imagination? Pictures and stories! Join us and a wild parade of imaginary animals for a visual feast in an interactive exhibit that celebrates the art of illustration and picture books. See how words and pictures go hand-in-paw as you walk through a story, draw your own picture book, or curl up in the imaginary world of a book in our youth-curated, cosy reading corner.
Rae Maté
Rae MatéRae Maté has always loved making pictures. When she heard the “Lord’s Prayer” recited in first grade, she thought the phrase “Our Father who art in heaven” referred to the creator indulging His passion for drawing and painting. Rae has illustrated five books for children and is happiest when she’s making art in heaven on Hornby Island, BC.
Jo Lechay
