ANNUAL JURIED EXHIBITION
OF PICTURE BOOK ILLUSTRATION
JUNE 9-AUGUST 4, 2013

This!
JUROR’S STATEMENT
It was such a pleasure to review the submissions for Picture This! The illustrations that I selected for the show stood out to me for their memorable characters, creative visual narrative or stunning technique.
I am so fortunate to work with illustrators every day. First comes the idea, the
spark of imagination that works in an illustrator’s brain like a grain of sand in
an oyster shell. Next, an illustrator puts pencil to paper or pixels to screen to
work over the idea and refine it. With color and composition, characters and
setting, an illustrator can create an image that brings tears to our eyes or
makes us erupt with giggles. This is the power of the illustrator. I am happy to
encourage the artists in Picture This! to continue working on those ideas that
nag them so that we may be delighted by their artwork for years to come.
Thank you so much to Katherine French, Director, Jessica Roscio, Assistant
Curator, and the Danforth staff for creating Picture This! to showcase and encourage children’s book illustrators and to inspire young art lovers. I am so
grateful to be a part of the show.
