Interview with Roz MacLean, Children’s Book Illustrator and Graphic Artist
Description
I am excited to share this wonderful podcast with Roz MacLean. Part of what I love about podcasting is getting the opportunity to talk with interesting people who are helping to change the world. Roz is one of these people! Her projects reflect a passion for diversity, inclusion, and telling a story. I learned about Roz when writing a review and interviewing the author of I am Odd, I am New.

Roz MacLean is a visual artist, children’s book author/illustrator, and educator living and working in Comox Valley, British Columbia. Roz believes the opportunity to engage in art-making should be accessible to all regardless of socioeconomic status, background, or ability.
In her work, she investigates ideas of human nature and relationship, community, mental health, interconnection, and the natural world through an anti-oppressive and LGBTQI + inclusive feminist lens.
Roz also develops and facilitates art workshops and projects for children, youth, and community members. Past workshops have centered around themes of inclusion, emotional well-being, skill development and material exploration, beautification of public space, storytelling, and bookmaking.
