PAUL MORIN

“Very high praise indeed must be given to award-winning artist Paul Morin, whose marvelous illustrations resemble fine paintings done on old linen. These pictures convey every bit as much emotion, atmosphere and action as the text. Even the black-and-white sketches are gems. The lovely page borders depict delicate African bead work and the end papers are like batik with blue handprints on a black background” (Otto, 1991)

“The artwork in Animal Dreaming 
is so utterly perfect for the story that it 
makes one swoon” (Lewis, 1999)

 “Paul Morin begins each painting by combining snippets of sound, music and voices he records on his travels. He uses this soundscape to influence the mood of the work” (Martin, 2005)

“Paul Morin has recorded the story of his travels and life, but not with text. His tale is told with brush strokes and color” (Martin, 2005)
