Шаблон:Short description

Holly Meade (b. Winchester, Massachusetts, September 14, 1956 - d. June 28, 2013) was an American artist best known for her woodblock prints and for her illustrations for children's picture books.[1][2]

Meade's illustrations for Hush!: A Thai Lullaby (1996, Orchard Books,) by Minfong Ho won a 1997 Caldecott Honor for illustration.[3]

John Willy and Freddy McGee (Marshall Cavendish, 1998,) which Meade both wrote and illustrated, was an honoree for the Charlotte Zolotow Award for Creative Writing.[1]

Biography

Meade was the daughter of Russell and Joanne Meade of Winchester, Massachusetts. She earned her A.B. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1978.[1] She lived in Sedgwick, Maine and had 2 children, Jenny and Noah Smick.[1][4][5]

Career

Meade worked in "drawing, collage, printmaking, basket making, and fabric design."[1] In 1992, she illustrated her first of many children's picture books, an endeavor that she called "the other focus of my work life".[1] She began to work in woodblock printing in 2002, following a workshop with printmaker Hester Stinnett at the Haystack Mountain School.[1][6] Some of her prints are in the permanent collection of the Portland Museum of Art.[6]

Woodblock prints illustrate some of her later picture books, including David Elliott’s series that includes On the Farm (Candlewick, 2008), In the Wild (2010) and In the Sea (2012).[1]

Children's books

She used torn paper to illustrate the 1997 book Cocoa Ice, which was given a Lupine Award by the Maine Library Association. Meade describe the challenge of illustrating the parallel story with, "pictures where a tropical place and warm palette must go hand in hand with a bare landscape and cool palette."[7]

Her book John Willy and Freddy McGee was a 1999 Charlotte Zolotow Award Honor Book.[8]
