Tonya Engel is a self-taught painter and children's book illustrator whose work can be found in many picture books, among them Our Lady of Guadalupe , Because Claudette , Impossible Moon , and the jacket art for Hurricane Child . Her work is inspired by Southern folk artists. Early in her career, she explored abstract painting but soon began to concentrate on figurative form mixed with emotion and expressionistic narrative.
