Illustrator Bruce Arant's work captures the emotion of the moment, to “tell the story” even without words. Primarily illustrating for the children's book market, his whimsical, warm characters possess truly life-like personalities that stir sighs and smiles from readers of all ages. Bruce is self taught in a variety of mediums that include chalk pastel, oil pastel, graphite, ink, colored pencil and watercolor, and his illustrations “speak fluently” in a variety of styles, from silly to serious.
