Illustrator Spotlight: Micha Archer
Micha Archer
of western Massachusetts describes her work as 'bold, joyful, vibrant,
and colorful.' A world traveler, her sense of color and pattern is
influenced by the folk art, crafts, and architecture of India, Nepal,
West Africa, and Mexico, amongst other countries. After earning her
degree in Multicultural Education, she worked in education, where she
realized the remarkable educational value of beautiful illustrations.
Working with gouache, watercolors, pen and ink, and collage, she
creates layered pieces from various materials like tissue paper and even
homemade stamps made from cut-up bicycle tire inner tubes! She also
creates sculpture, and has done numerous book covers and illustrations
for various publishers, including Cricket Magazine.
Micha's
research into the subject matter and setting of the books she
illustrates is fully apparent in her other upcoming title with Barefoot
Books, The Wise Fool. In Lola's Fandango, Micha has
created playful, often humorous illustrations with texture, movement,
color, and expression that have brought Lola and her family to life
with the same characteristic duende that Lola herself possesses.
I LOVE Micah's handiwork. Her visual concepts truly bring life to any printed word. Indeed, a very talented young lady. To see more of her work, visit http://artmicha.com/
