| Anne Catharine Blake | annecatharineblake@gmail.com | Bio | Anne Catharine Blake is a creative blend of Americans and Canadians. Known as Catharine or Cathy to her friends, she grew up half time in Canada on a farm, and half time in the US around the theatre and her grandfather’s commercial art studio.
Her illustrations have appeared in over 60 publications, including children’s books, magazines and newspapers. Her art has also been exhibited in galleries and can be viewed in private and public collections.
Catharine loves to draw and learn exciting new ways to create art, whether it’s with a digital pen on a Wacom Cintiq or on paper and pencil. She is also notorious for sketching on sticky notes and leaving a trail wherever she goes.
Most days, Catharine can be found in her studio on the 3rd floor of the Hala B. Darling House in Upstate New York. With her studio cat, Hala to keep her company, she paints, draws, writes, and teaches art and design online at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh to undergraduate students both in the US and abroad.

| Josee Bisaillon | info@joseebisaillon.com | Bio | Josée Bisaillon grew up in St-Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada. Rather than follow in her father's footsteps as a veterinary surgeon, she chose to cut animals from paper: they were colorful, low maintenance and always in fine health. Today her illustrations, a mixture of collage, drawings and digital montage, take us into a world so richly detailed and multidimensional that you'd hardly think it all came out of only one person's imagination.
When not making pictures, Josée enjoys knitting socks for her young daughter Charlotte and is touring the world as a virtual Rock Band guitarist.
Bisaillon's has won many Applied Arts Illustration Award and LUX Illustration Awards in Québec, and was a finalist for the 2008 Governor General's Literary Awards in Canada. |
