Mary Hoy SchmidtMary's knack for putting words and images together is complemented by a life-long love of drawing and watercolour painting. In The Most Love Ever! she combines the universal appeal of geometry with well-studied facial features to create characters tht are both whimsical and expressive. The synergistic relationship between the chosen shapes and words allows the theme of this book to unfold in a playful yet poignant way. The signature style that Mary has created for The Most Love Ever! will be carried through all of the books in The LOVE Series, making them easily recognizable to readers. The evolution of the book's characters from draft to finished product was greatly influenced by Mary's daughter, Lindsay Schmidt Nichols. Lindsay not only digitized and enhanced the illustrations, but offered her editorial and creative expertise, and prepared the book for publication. Lindsay is a talented Graphic Designer with her own business, Lindsay Schmidt Graphic Design Services. She obtained her Degree from St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario. To top it all off, Lindsay's daughter (Mary's granddaughter!) Evelyn Nichols, painted all of the original dresses in the book with her own watercolour paints! Read More Read Less
