Illustrators we love – Isabella Arsenault

Isabella Arsenault has a beautiful and delicate style that just draws me to the covers of the books she Illustrates.

A Canadian, she studied at Université du Québec à Montréal , she is has received two Governors General awards for her works.

I love the soft greys and delicate pops of color. Some of her works remind her of Wayne Thiebaud pieces, just soft and delicious.

 

Our top two  favorite books:

Spork

A beautiful tale about being different. As my kids are half, I thought it would be fitting. We just adore the book.

Virginia Wolf

Isabella brings these books to life, her delicate hand and style make the imagination a very pretty place to visit.
