Ann Marie Barrow (born Ann Marie Gamache; September 1, 1950 – July 8, 2005) was an American artist, illustrator, and educator best known for her children's book illustrations and portraiture. She worked in graphite, watercolor, colored pencil, and pastel, focusing on representational art. Over a 28-year career (1977 – 2005), Barrow produced illustrations for magazines, book jackets, greeting cards, giftware, and over 20 children's books.[1] In 1988, Ann Barrow illustrated one of Ursula K. LeGuin's first picture books, A Visit from Dr. Katz. Her fine art centered around children's portraits commissioned by local families.
Ann Barrow was born in Fall River, Massachusetts, and graduated from Southeastern Massachusetts University (now UMass Dartmouth) in 1975 with degrees in English and fine art.[2] She lived in Dartmouth, Massachusetts throughout her career. Barrow regularly gave school presentations to introduce students to the field of illustration. In 2004, she began teaching a continuing education course on children's book illustration at the Rhode Island School of Design.
In June 2005, Ann Barrow was injured in a car accident and spent two weeks in the intensive care unit at Rhode Island Hospital. She died of complications on July 8, 2005.[3] Barrow is buried at the Allen's Neck Friends Meeting House Cemetery in Dartmouth.[4] The New England chapter of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators|Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) awards a Memorial Scholarship for Illustrators, formerly known as the Ann Barrow Scholarship.
