Wendy Edelson

Born 6 weeks early ,Wendy Edelson spent her first couple years

in New York, then moved with her parents to California, It was there in the back of the station wagon with the country speeding past the windows that she began to draw, and draw…..and draw and hasn’t stopped yet.

Wendy , a self taught artist, moved back to New York at the age of 16, eager to begin her professional career and began making the rounds of publishers and advertising agencies. After several years she moved further North up to Vermont, where she spent most of her adult life illustrating children’s books and creating art for packaging, posters, advertising, collectibles and grown up books.

She spent 12 years living in Mexico and in the Pacific Northwest in different studios, working…painting…and began licensing her images for all sorts of products, such as puzzles, cards and collectibles and creating fabric collections., while continuing to illustrate children’s books.

Once again,now, she lives in a village in Northern Vermont, where her studio looks out on a river and the beautiful Green Mountains. She continues to paint and has begun writing children's books in addition to illustrating them! Stay tuned!

She has managed to steal just enough time away from her drawing board occasionally to travel the world and has learned how to whip up a mean Puttanesca sauce and bake biscotti , grow scented flower gardens and heirloom vegetables, learn to dance, be happy, get married and have a son , love a Corgi and a fluffy gray cat....and the fun’s just begun!
