]]> Illustrations can do a lot of things. They can give a new perspective on a familiar subject, they can incite emotion, they can distract or focus. For Maëlle Doliveux, illustrations tell stories.

Maëlle is a French/Swiss illustrator and a citizen of the world — she’s lived anywhere from the United States to Australia. She’s always been interested in art, so after her high school graduation, she enrolled in the Architecture program at the University of Nottingham, which she graduated from in 2008. She then went to get her master’s degree in Illustration as Visual Essay, from the School of Visual Arts in 2013.

I’m SO incredibly proud, surprised, excited, over the moon that “Good Night Wind” was selected as one of thirty of the “Best Picture Books of 2019” by the @chicagopubliclibrary, AND one of the “101 Great Books for Kids” of 2019 by the @evanstonpubliclibrary !! I’m so incredibly proud that my first picture book has taken off like this, and really want to thank all the amazing librarians (like @fusenumber8 ), first and foremost for their amazing work to educate and build community (and to bring joy and awesome works of art to people’s lives), and ALSO for having selected our book! And thank you again to @lindaemarshall for writing such a lovely story that I got to illustrate. Thank you all around! If you’re looking to get a copy check your local #independentbookstore or check out @booksaremagicbk or @booksaremagicbk in NYC. #kidlit #picturebook #cutpaper #goodnightwind #librarylove

Maëlle’s broad interests and education have helped her forge her own special style as an artist. She creates beautiful collages and mixes drawing with cutting and pasting paper. Her collages usually depict natural scenes — like a forest floor full of wild mushrooms, or bats flying at night — but she also likes to draw people -mountain climbers, kids playing in the winds, a lone house in a stormy night. Her art is enchanting, but also kind of haunting, in the best possible way.

I’m finally able to share some photos of the biggest project that I’ve worked on to date. Big in EVERY sense of the word. I created a series of 7 original cut paper commissions for @tihanydesign for the dining room of the @seabourncruise ship Ovation. I created one triptych and one quadriptych exploring the theme of pollination. This first piece is part of the exotic pollinators triptych – it focuses on the cashew plant and its principle pollinator- butterflies. It measures 39.5”x39.5”x2.75”- swipe through to see it in the dining room, some details, and a shot of yours truly with it unframed at the end for scale! I’ll be posting the others over the next week or so, but if you can’t wait that long- check out the “installations” section of my website to see them all with more pictures and info. www.maelledoliveux.com Interior photography by Eric Laignel, interior design by @tihanydesign. #cutpaper #installationart #pollination #cashew
