My goal has been to spent a significant part of each day doing the things I love best\u00a0\u2013\u2013 drawing, and more recently writing. Mostly, I have succeeded. I run a weekly life-drawing workshop to keep my figurative skills in shape and am writing and illustrating a cycle of stories set in a fictive version of Ontario that is not quite as strange as the real place.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br \/><br \/><\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"blue\"><strong>What did receiving the\u00a0Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children&#8217;s Book Award\u00a0mean to you?<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/p><p><span class=\"plain_grey\">Creating good art involves personal risk and moving the personal into the public makes artists a sensitive bunch of people. I won the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children&#8217;s Book Award (then the\u00a0Sylvia Schwartz Children&#8217;s Book Award) for the first book I illustrated, Zoom Away. The award gave me the\u00a0needed\u00a0push to quit my day-job and make art my career.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span class=\"blue\"><strong>What does private arts philanthropy mean to you as a working artist?<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"plain_grey\">On one level, awards and grants are a source of money. They allow artists to make more work. But they also provide affirmation and recognition. Tastes vary, and public institutions are often able to respond to only a particular aspect of the things artist make. Private philanthropy widens the scope of what is valued.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author \/ Illustrator,<\/p>\n<p>Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children&#8217;s Book Awards &#8211; Picture Book Category,<\/p>\n<p>1984 Recipient<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3877,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"give_campaign_id":0,"nf_dc_page":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-oaf-award-recipients"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oafdn.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3876","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oafdn.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oafdn.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oafdn.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oafdn.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3876"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/oafdn.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3876\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oafdn.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3877"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oafdn.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3876"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oafdn.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3876"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oafdn.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3876"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
