Appearances

Why not host a school visit? It’s a great opportunity for children to meet and ask the how’s and why’s of creating a picture book. As well as being inspired, budding authors and illustrators get a greater understanding of the process used to create picture books and can apply this knowledge to their work.

Nina's Program
My programs are enjoyed by all (teachers included). I try to keep my presentation fun and interactive - my drawing demonstrations are always a hit with the children. I adjust my talks depending on the age group that I am delivering to, offering a programs that suit preschooler, K-2 as well as a more process driven program for years 3-6.

During a session, I demonstrate the importance of visual story-telling, showing how I work with the words to tell a story. Along with buckets of enthusiasm, I like to bring lots of props; my paints and brushes, sketches, press sheets, and original artwork, are all used to help describe the steps that I use to create pictures for books.

Any artwork created during the session is yours to keep!
