E. Jean Schwab Auditorium

As a picture book author-illustrator, Claudia McGehee is always ready for the next seed of an idea to fly in, to plant and nurture.

Claudia will share how and where she finds inspiration for her nature-inspired stories and images, and how they grow from idea to finished art. Studio practices Claudia keeps, and highlights on a current picture book (about seeds!) will be presented. All ages are welcome.
