Katy Horan lives in New York City and makes art. I've never met her, though I'd like to, but one day I stumbled head-over-feet onto her art. And I swooned, as one does, because there were animals and clouds, ships and zeppelins, people singing heart-songs and hedehogs murmuring secrets. It's a collage full of play and winks, a whimsy that's more hopeful than nostalgic, a liveliness that belongs in forest-bed or whirligig farm, in book or canvas.
Katy's going to illustrate at least one more song for us, soon enough, but it would be foolish to sit on this one - not when it's a new year and a good song and a picture full of friendships and promises.
Thank you so much, Katy. -- Sean
