Georgia
Graham was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta and has been hooked
on chalk pastels since grade four. She graduated from the
Alberta College of Art in 1982 and first used her art to entertain
children in her sunday school class. Her published works include
"A Team Like No Other", "The Saturday
Appaloosa", "Bibi and the Bull", "The
Strongest Man This Side of Cremona", "Tiger's
New Cowboy Boots", and more. Georgia Graham lives with
her husband on a tree farm in Central Alberta.
Georgia has a philosophy about children's books: "The
illustrations in my children's book are much more time consuming
than the writing. But the story must be a strong structure, like
a skeleton, to hold the artwork. The illustrations are the fleshy,
showy part." Georgia is invited to about fifty to sixty schools
annually to present, demonstrate and conduct workshops across Alberta,
speaking to approximately 20,000 children each year.
