Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Janet Wilson decided at age 29, after her boys were off to school, that she wanted to become a professional artist. After a few years of hard work she graduated and was rewarded with an offer from Scholastic to illustrate a book. And the rest, as they say, is history. With a host of books to her credit, Janet is recognized for her realistic paintings which capture the feelings and mood of the characters and situations in the stories she is illustrating.

Janet Wilson is renowned for a particular talent for drawing children. Her realistic style and sensitivity to the nuances of facial expressions help young readers grasp subjects ranging from dealing with death, the arrival of a new baby, the tragedy of war or just wishing your new dress was a different colour. That same sensitivity shows up in her commissioned portraits in oil paints on fine Dutch portait linen. Her love of painting is also evident in her Still Life artwork.
