The show will include a large selection of my artwork from the past 30 years, including Bedtime Stitches, the touring exhibit of original illustrations for my most recent picture book, MY BED: Enchanting Ways to Fall Asleep around the World. Also on display will be recent works that explore cultural diversity, migration, fashion, the natural world, and a range of social narratives, from the everyday to topical subjects.
