Anne Catharine Blake

Thank you for visiting!

I am an author/illustrator, dividing my time between the Southern United States and Canada.

For over 30 years, I’ve worked as a freelance illustrator covering over 80 subjects in children’s books, comics, and illustrations–– published in the US, UK, Europe, and translated into Spanish and Chinese.

In addition to publishing, my work has been exhibited in galleries, museums, and traveling shows in New York, Paris, London, Toronto, Portland, Chicago, Syracuse, and Connecticut. Some of my papers are housed at the de Grummond Children’s Literature Collection at the University of Southern Mississippi.

I studied Book Illustration and Design at Emily Carr University and earned my MA in Illustration from Syracuse University and an MFA in Illustration from Hartford Art School at the University of Hartford.

I’m a long-time member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators, Society of Illustrators in NY.
