Born in Quebec City, Marie-Louise Gay studied graphic design at L'institut des arts graphiques in Montreal, animation at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts School and illustration at the Academy of Art College in San Francisco. She has worked as an editorial illustrator, an art director and a production manager for a children's book publisher. Marie-Louise has written three puppet plays for which she created the sets, puppets and costumes. She has also designed clothes for children and created sets for an animated film at the National Film Board.
But for the last twenty-five years, Marie-Louise Gay has been writing and illustrating books for children. Although she didn't begin drawing until she was sixteen, she is now one of Canada's leading illustrators. She has taught illustration at the Universite du Quebec a Montreal, and she continues to give readings, workshops and talks in schools and libraries and at conferences across Canada, Europe, Mexico and the United States. She has won numerous awards for her work, including two Governor General's Awards, and she has been nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Award and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.
Marie-Louise Gay has written and/ or illustrated over sixty books for children -- board books, picture books and chapter books. Stella, Star of the Sea, the first book in her wildly popular Stella series, was published more than ten years ago. She has since written and illustrated four more Stella books and three books about Stella's little brother, Sam. They have been translated into fi fteen languages, have received rave reviews and are loved by children all over the world. Her new book, Roslyn Rutabaga and the Biggest Hole on Earth! is yet another delightful story.
Marie-Louise lives with her family in Montreal, Quebec.
