Kate Gardiner

Kate Gardiner is the illustrator of several acclaimed picture books, including Sometimes We Fall, which received two starred reviews and was described as “a soothing spell” by The New York Times, A Family Tree, and Firefly Season. A recipient of grants from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation and the Albert K. Murray Foundation, as well as the Crewe Foundation Scholar Award, Kate holds a BFA in illustration from the Maine College of Art & Design. Drawing inspiration from her mixed heritage as a member of the Chaubunagungamaug band of Nipmuck Indians and from the traditions of her Polish roots, she brings a deep sense of place and connection to her work. She lives and works in New England.
