Travel With Us
“Each faculty member and visiting illustrator brought with them their own brand of enthusiasm and shared with us their knowledge of illustration, the business of illustration, and the results of working as an illustrator. It was a privilege to be a student in a program that offers opportunities for creative growth. An outstanding program, indeed!”
Carolyn Karasek-Needles, Class of 2007
