Maggie Henry, illustrator of A Coming of Winter in the Adirondacks by Brien Heinz
Winter is on its way and the High Peaks are in celebration. Hillsides and valleys look to be on fire as trees shimmer in the glow of autumn light. Green spires of hemlock and spruce poke their slender necks skyward, as if to get a better view. For surely, winter is coming.
Maggie Henry grew up in Oswego, New York. Her love of nature and wildlife art began as a child spending summers at her family cottage on Lake Ontario. Observing frogs and fireflies, raising monarch butterflies, and other summer rituals delighted and inspired her then- and still do. Maggie graduated from Pratt at Munson-Williams-Proctor in 2007 and Pratt Institute in 2009 with a BFA in Communications Design with a concentration in Illustration.
