Pierre Pratt Like the work of all great illustrators, Pierre’s art is truly unique. He creates using a mixture of oil pastel and acrylic. Strong lines and bright colors, characteristic of his style, command admiration. Pierre draws his inspiration from painters such as Georges Rouault, Matisse, Edward Hopper and Jean Dubuffet. In 1992 he was the recipient of the first-ever UNICEF-Bologna Book Fair Illustrator of the Year prize. Pratt grew up in the suburbs of Montreal. After studying graphic design in college, Pierre began his career in magazine illustration, which eventually led him to children’s books. Uncle Henry's Dinner Guests won both a Governor General’s Award and a Mr. Christie Award for Illustration in 1991. Pierre’s first excursion as author/illustrator, Follow That Hat!, was awarded Bratislava’s Golden Apple Award. For a full list of Pratt's art available for sale, please visit our online shop >>
