literature, Ruth Sanderson has created imagery for
more than seventy-five picture books, many of which
bring classic tales to life. Inspired by the art of Golden
Age masters Howard Pyle, N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish,
Arthur Rackham, and Norman Rockwell for its strong
narrative content and emotional power, Sandersons
paintings capture perfectly the sense of wonder inherent
in fairy tales.
The illustrated books by the artist include The Sleeping
Beauty, Cinderella; The Golden Mare, The Firebird, and
The Magic Ring; The Snow Princess; The Crystal
Mountain; The Twelve Dancing Princesses and The
Enchanted Wood, an original story. Sanderson, who has

more than 80 childrens books, and has created art for
book covers, collectors plates, animation concept
designs, and product designs.

summer graduate program at Hollins University, in
Roanoke, Virginia.
