Peek into Sarah Walsh’s sketchbook!
When Sarah Walsh was here, I took some photos of her gorgeous and fascinating sketchbook pages. I thought you’d enjoy a peek inside. It’s always interesting to see what work an artist does purely for herself.

Brand New Work!
Today, I’m delighted to present you brand new work by my artists that show off their ability to do amazingly charming children’s picture books. It’s about three things: appealing characters, charming settings, and a fresh style. Fun fact: Four of these pieces happen to include dogs.
Contact us to assign your next book or see more. Our artists are a total pleasure to work with, and so are our agents Susan and Joanne. We’d love to hear from you!

What makes a great portrait? More Menagerie Sneak Peeks!
Let’s chat about how my artist Anne Bentley paints portraits so beautifully. She includes only the essential qualities of likeness and leaves out extraneous stuff. There’s a kind of visual efficiency. But then, she goes full-on decorative in the background to tell the rest of the story. Here, she paints the distinctive features of beloved British writer Virginia Woolf–the bits of white under the iris, the slight droop of the lower lid, the long oval face and narrow nose. But then, the gorgeous Bloomsbury-esque wallpaper motifs in the background tell some more of the story. I hope you enjoy seeing some of Anne’s work she painted for our Art Menagerie.
