Marie Sanderson

I am an artist, illustrator/author, and musician living in Upstate, New York, where I get daily inspiration from the constantly changing landscape. I especially enjoy the luminous and challenging medium of watercolor and also find a nice change of pace in using charcoal, pen, ink, or pencil.

I am drawn to a good and gentle story and find great fun in translating the story line into images that visually enhance the telling. Somewhere, deep inside, I suppose I am still eight years old, so illustrating the story seems to come naturally to me.

I am a member of the Society of Children’s Book Authors and Illustrators and am fortunate to have studied watercolor with artist Camille Doucet. I am also a member of Night and Day Art Collective. Visit http://nightanddayartcollective.com and Instagram for the latest art posts.
