Children's Book Author, Illustrator and Teacher        

Judith Moffatt

My love for paper began with the beautiful samples my Dad would bring home from his job at a printing company. After an early career in advertising I decided to pursue my life-long ambition to become a children’s book illustrator. In 1990 I illustrated my first book using my 3-dimensional cut paper style. Since then I have gone on to publish over 50 books for young children.

When I began speaking at schools and libraries, it gave me the opportunity to see children react to my artwork. Watching them attempt to reach into a page, pluck out an object, or feel the texture would remind me of the enjoyment my dimensional technique added to the story and illustrations. These experiences have become so rewarding that I recently began teaching children’s book illustration, and cut paper workshops at the Rhode Island School of Design.

I have received several awards in international dimensional art competitions. Too Many Rabbits was recognized as an American Pick of the List selection, The Sun-Maid-Raisin
