Susan Marie Guevara is an American sculptor and illustrator, who is best known for her illustrations in picture books.[1][2][3] She was born in Walnut Creek, California and now lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico.[1][4] Susan received a BFA in illustration from Academy of Art College in San Francisco. She took time off between her first and second years and moved to Belgium where she was able to study with Remy Van Sluys and take painting and drawing classes at Royal Academy of Fine Art.[5][6] She was the first recipient of the Pura Belpré Medal Award in 1996 for Gary Soto's Chat's Kitchen. She won again in 2002 for Gary Soto's Chato and the Party Animals, and was a recipient of a Pura Belpré Honor Award for Susan Elya Middleton's Little Roja Riding Hood.[7]

Career

Guevara has illustrated over 20 books since 1990.[8] Of her illustrations, she has stated that she does not use a set style. She researches and immerses herself into the world of the characters and the story, and she adapts her work to the setting and the characters of the work that she is illustrating.[9][10][11] Her first illustrated picture book was Emmett’s Snowball by Ned Miller, which was published in 1990. Her work in this book received mixed reviews.[12][13] Later works have received more positive reviews that praise her depiction of Latin Culture as well as her use of color and style that fits a book's text.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]

Guevara's illustrations from The Chato Series have been adapted beyond the books. They were adapted into a video in 1999.[1] Additionally, during the 2006 American Library Association Annual Conference in New Orleans, Guevara began a mural at the Children’s Resource Center Library, which had been damaged during Hurricane Katrina. This mural featured characters from the book Chato and the Party Animals and was entitled "Tambien de dolor se canta cuando llorar no se puede" or "Sorrow also sings when it runs too deep to cry." This mural was finished in November 2011.[22][23][24]
