Joyce Hesselberth:
Bunicula

Meaning is the driving force behind Joyce Hesselberth’s illustrations. “Every item, every line, every texture is important,” says Hesselberth. Her conceptual illustrations are coolly figurative, at times witty or whimsical, but always succinct. Great illustration distills the main message of a text. It has the ability to take a complex or abstract concept and make it readily understandable. “The illustrator’s job is to complement the text, to make it come to life.” Hesselberth melds simple yet clever figures and shapes with original and archival photography to render a message. Her visual language is often sparse, intuitive and tactile. “An illustration must engage the senses and stimulate the imagination.” Hesselberth’s illustrations provide concise statements for corporate and editorial assignments and add wonder and fun to children’s literature.
