True North Gallery is pleased to announce new work by award-winning Welsh author/illustrator Jackie Morris.
Jackie has won international acclaim for the numerous books she has written and illustrated. Her work has been exhibited widely in galleries throughout the U.K. and Australia. She has also exhibited at the Swansea and Edinburgh Book Festivals, and has work in the public collection at the National Library of Wales.
Jackie has won several awards for her illustrations, including; the Tir na n-Og Prize awarded by the Welsh Books Council, 2005, for The Seal Children; the Tir na n-Og Prize for Best English Book of the Year, Welsh Books Council, 1997, for Cities in the Sea; the Children’s Book Federation Award shortlist, 1997, for The Snow Whale; and in 1988 she was Highly Commended in the Australian Women’s Art Award.
Here are some of the things that inspires Jackie (in her own words):” Blue, cats, the smell of honeysuckle, rose petals, birds, words, fires, good books, crayons and paint, the smell of a new book, polar bears, moonlight and moonshadows, stars, sunrise, sunset, dew on the grass, poetry, red, random acts of kindness, long gold grass of late summer, the sound of the wind in the trees, the brush of a butterfly’s wings, the fragility of bone, wasp’s nests, washing on a line blowing in the wind on a sunny winter’s day, the patterns the sea draws on a beach each day and night.”
