Welcome to our new writing prompt series, Inspired by Illustrations!
Here at Little Thoughts Press, we want to shine a spotlight on some of the amazing artwork we have featured in our issues over the years, and celebrate the talented illustrators and artists who have shared their work with our readers. We hope that our Inspired by Illustrations series will spark new poem and stories ideas for writers of all ages and encourage you to share your drafts, brainstorms, or reactions to the featured artwork in the comments below. If you are inspired to craft a piece and wish to share it on social media, or a personal blog or website, we ask that you please include a link to our blog post and tag Little Thoughts Press and the artist whenever possible so that we can help spread the word and shout-out our talented contributors.
To kick off this new series, we have an illustration by Valéry Goulet that originally appeared in our Autumnatopoeia issue.
Valéry Goulet grew up in Québec. That’s where she first fell in love with illustration. Dreaming up worlds as a child turned into academic ambition as an adult. She studied at Université Laval and earned a Masters in Interaction Design. She’s worked with global brands and agencies. And her illustrations have garnered attention far and wide. When she’s not illustrating, she’s teaching. Valéry instructs for the Visual Communication Design Program at the University of Alberta. She also teaches in the Bachelor of Design program at MacEwan University. By inspiring others, she connects with the spirit of creativity that fueled her dreams as a child.
