RISD BFA '81 [Illustration]
Author and artist Marjorie Priceman is an illustrator who, since beginning her career in the late 1980s, has found herself in great demand due to her humorous and energetic artwork. Although she has created art for the texts of a variety of noted writers, including Jack Prelutsky, Amy MacDonald, and Nancy Van Laan, Priceman has found that illustrating someone else's story is not nearly as fun as illustrating her own. After taking an advanced writing course, she has gone on to pen the original picture books My Nine Lives: by Clio, Emeline at the Circus, and Princess Picky, earning an extra dollop of enthusiastic praise from critics. Priceman's books "are rollicking and riotous," commented a Publishers Weekly reviewer, adding that "it often seems as though the borders of the pages are unable to contain the energy of her artwork and creations." Praising the illustrator in a profile for the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books online, Deborah Stevenson wrote: "There's a delicious artistic gaiety" to the illustrator's work that recalls "earlier styles; the result is not retro effect, but a feeling that something that's been missing has been restored."
