Marie-Louise Gay
Marie-Louise Gay was born in Quebec City, on June 17, 1952. She began her training at The Institute of Graphic Arts of Montreal but found graphic art too restraining and as a result moved to courses at The Montreal Museum School of Fine Art. As a student, she worked on professional cartoon strips and editorial illustrations. She also began taking her portfolio around to various publishers until she found one that was willing to publish her work. Gay began illustrating children's books. She reveled in the larger scale and number of drawings that are involved in picture books. She enjoyed the opportunity to create whole new visual worlds but often found that she was not interested in the stories she was given to illustrate. In 1980, she decided that she would try to write and illustrate her own picture books. Marie-Louise Gay has become one of Canada's premier children's authors and illustrators. Her prolific amount of work is available in both English and French. She gets her ideas from her own memories of childhood.
