ABOUT THE ARTIST
Beatriz Vidal is an internationally known artist and prize-winning illustrator of children’s books. Born in Argentina, she studied painting and design in New York in the 1960s with Hungarian born artist Ilonka Karasz, a former member of the Wiener Werkstatte. During that time, her work included designs for Unicef cards and record covers. Her illustrations also appeared in the magazines Gourmet, Bon Appetit, The New York Times, Woman's Day, and The New Yorker.
In 1981 Vidal illustrated the prize-winning book "Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain" by Verna Aardema. It became a 'PBS Reading Rainbow' selection and remained a popular feature for more than two decades. In 1988 she illustrated part of the PBS series "Joseph Campbell and the Power Of Myth" with Bill Moyers. That work resulted in another book commission: "Buffalo Dance" (Little Brown & Co., 1993). Several books followed: "Rainbow Crow" (Knopf, 1989), also a Reading Rainbow selection on PBS, "The Legend of El Dorado" (Knopf, 1991), "A Promise to the Sun" (Little Brown & Co.,1992), "The Magic Bean Tree", (Houghton Mifflin & Co., 1997), "A Library for Juana" (Knopf, 2002) which won the prestigious Tomas Rivera Mexican American Children's Book Award, "Federico and the Magi's Gift" (Knopf, 2004) which she wrote and illustrated and "A Gift of Gracias", by Julia Alvarez (Knopf, 2005).
Vidal illustrated part of "Children of God", a storybook Bible retold by Desmond Tutu (published by Lux Verbi, 2010). She also illustrated "Blancaflor" by Alma Flor Ada, McGraw-Hill, 2011. More recently, she illustrated “Pine and the Winter Sparrow”, retold by Alexis York Lumbar, for Wisdom Tales Press (World Wisdom’s children’s books imprint), which received the Gold Medal in the ‘Illustration–Graphics’ category of the 2015 Midwest Book Awards; and “Little Lek Longtail Learns to Sleep”, also for Wisdom Tales Press. “Little Lek Longtail”, written by Bette Killion, was an award-winning Finalist in the 2016 USA “Best Book” Awards. From 1985 to 1987, she was invited to teach design and illustration for children's literature of Arab countries in Summer Seminars held in Cyprus and organized by the Beirut University College. She has also taught in New York City at Hunter College, The New School for Social Research, and The 92nd Street Y.
