Maeve Norton
Maeve Norton considers herself a visual storyteller, in more ways than one. By day, she is an Art Director for middle grade and young adult novels at Scholastic where she spearheads the design of Goosebumps, Baby-Sitters Club and best-selling novels by authors Brian Selznick, Kelly Andrew, Ann Liang, Ryan La Sala and many more. When not bringing other people’s stories to life Maeve is illustrating, hand lettering, map making, designing and storytelling in a world of her own. Born in the greater Boston area, Maeve moved to New York to study illustration at Pratt Institute and has been captivated by the city ever since. Her work as an Art Director and illustrator is shaped by the transformative power of story in the foundation of childhood. She hopes to bring some levity, and empathy, to the world with each page turn.

We all know that the pressure to ‘find your style’ as an illustrator can really cramp your style as a creative person. The answer to the foreboding question “what makes my style unique?” cannot be found in someone else’s work. And the reason for that is simpler than you think- no one else can speak in your visual voice. In this workshop, Scholastic Art Director and Illustrator Maeve Norton will explore the difference between style and visual voice, breaking down not only how to find yours but also how to make it heard in the publishing industry.
This program will be recorded and available for 30 days.
