“We had the pleasure of a visit from Mike Lowery this year. It was great! The students loved hearing about how ideas turn into books and the illustration process. Mike even looked at their portfolios, offering tips and advice. He drew lots of pictures and talked about the creative process. After his visit, our students were inspired to start drawing their own creatures and characters”
“He spent the day with our students talking about his life and career as an artist. His presentations were engaging and as a bonus … he is a really funny guy! If your school is looking for a visiting illustrator that taps into students’ artistic talent and is passionate about his work, I highly recommend Mike Lowery. Thanks for a wonderful day of learning!”
