Episode 4: Visual Journeys through Art and Book Illustration: Telling a Timeless Story with Colleen Sgroi

In our next episode, we sat down with our friend Colleen Sgroi, Award-Winning Children’s Book Illustrator and New England hometown favorite Folk Artist and Watercolor Instructor. Colleen shares her journey through book illustration and how a well written story inspires and sparks her memorable designs that help readers better understand what they are reading. We take a nostalgic walk through some classic colonial communities as we hear how her Americana Folk Art comes to life (sometimes in unusual ways). Then we close with her encouragement to budding artists and illustrators to know your worth and don’t sell yourself short.
