RIP Madeleine Gekiere

The beautiful artist Madeleine Gekiere took her own life today. I'm not sure of all the details but it seems she was ailing and thought it was time to go. As you hardcore readers know, I was lucky enough to interview her in 2012 about her illustration work in children's books, especially the first edition of Ray Bradbury's Switch On the Night. What an incredible spirit and artist. 

Godspeed dear woman.

My original interview with her is here

  1. Lovely to catch up with her beautiful work. I hope that she made the right decision for herself. A sad loss of creative spirit.
