Betsy Bowen has lived on the north shore since the early 60’s. Glimpses of her family’s back-to-the-land life show up in her book Antler, Bear, Canoe, a Northwoods picture book.
Many other books that she has illustrated have followed celebrating our connection to the natural world.
Betsy will show her process of illustrating picture books, and talk about what it’s like to make a story appear on a page visually “pictures make the words better, and words make the pictures better,” she thinks…
Betsy’s studio is located in Grand Marais, in a former historic Lutheran church.
All presentations are family-friendly and free to the public. Donations are always appreciated.
Take your time driving up the Gunflint Trail, and enjoy the scenery!
