CANSCAIP Members Martha NewbiggingIllustrator
Prince Edward County BiographyThe daughter of two art teachers, Martha Newbigging was born to draw. There was even a chalkboard near the kitchen table for after-dinner artwork. A graduate of the Ontario College of Art and Sheridan College, Martha has gone on to become a website and graphic designer, animator and children’s book illustrator. She has drawn everything from diagrams to comics to engage kids in learning. Her style is cartoony and humour is an essential ingredient to her pictures. Martha has taught computer graphics at OCAD and Sheridan College and facilitated animation workshops for children and for artists in the community. She also enjoys sharing her experience as a children’s book illustrator and engaging children in drawing activities. In November 2005 she toured lower mainland British Columbia for TD Canadian Children’s Book Week. She is now participating in the Ontario Arts Council’s Artists in Education program doing week-long workshops in schools on making comic books. Visit your local library in 2006 to see the artwork she created for the TD Summer Reading Club. Martha now lives beside a river in Prince Edward County, just outside her birthplace of Toronto, with her dog, Ruby and cat, Flint. When not at the drawing board, Martha likes to paddle a kayak and play tennis or hockey. Published Works
