STACEY DRESSEN MCQUEEN

Stacey Dressen McQueen's career as a picture book illustrator launched in 2003 with Boxes For Katie, written by Candace Fleming and named Best Children's Book of the Year by Publisher's Weekly. Stacey has since gone on to illustrate six more picture books and contribute to various publications as well as create paintings. Her recent small acrylic paintings on paper are a meditative practice of mark making and color that approach the overlapping, separating, and tangled patterns of relating. Currently, she lives in Portland, Oregon.
