At age sixteen, she sold her first drawings. She studied at the University of Oregon, School of the Portland Art Museum, California School of Fine Arts, and La Grand Chaumiere, Paris. What a natural God given talent she had for catching cats in their many moods.Clare Turlay Newberry was born in Enterprise, Ohio. From that point on every time I see one I snatch it up, although its getting harder to find the original ones. I came across several of her books at a local public library some years ago. Nowadays there are so many young illustrators (and I love a lot of them) but the lightness and softness of your mother's art is without parallel. It really is a shame all her books are not still in print - with cats ruling the internet it hardly seems possible! And I really believe she has a unique sensitivity in portraying cats. Thank you so much for your kind words! I look forward to the re-issue of Pandora (oh, I loved the photo of Pandora the kitten!) and your biography of her. Oh, I am also finishing a biography about her amazing life, but getting the copy proofed is taking quite awhile, so check every now and then on Newberr圜ats.com for when that is released, probably late November. You really made my day-I love how you write about my mother. If you have a fav, let me know as I plan to reissue more. I have also reissued PANDORA (Bari of chose that) and if you wait a few days-and keep checking-it will be available on and. I have just finished uploading her very own web site, to which you are definitely invited-You can click on the book titles (they are all featured on the home page) to see a whole page with excerpted illustrations, some back story, and sometimes family photographs about each book. For one thing, she liked soft greys and that is unusual to see on web sites. My mother, Clare Turlay Newberry Trujillo, would have loved your site.
I was actually able to get a used copy of Smudge (and Mittens)! I can't understand why they're not all still in seems to me her illustrations would be very popular today.
I remember my mother reading Marshmallow to us when we were little, too (about a bunny). I have a book of hers called Smudge that has the most wonderfully soft-looking kitties.
