About the Author
Madeleine Budnick is the author, series editor, and designer of the ArteKids books. Budnick got her start designing books twenty-plus years ago and has of late been getting involved in written content as well. She brings to the series a passion for the arts (she holds a degree in art history and drawing) and a commitment to creating books that aim to inspire and enrich a child’s world. In addition, she is deeply committed to language education and celebrating cultural richness. Her two young daughters―who knowingly and unknowingly act as consultants on the project―are in a language immersion school. Creating books that combine all these interests makes Budnick’s work for ArteKids books as much like play as the law allows. She lives in Portland, Oregon.
The San Antonio Museum of Art dates its history to 1925. Located in the former Lone Star Brewery complex, its collections position it as one of the preeminent city museums in the nation.
