Please join us in welcoming our first guest of 2024 – Rosemary Valero-O’Connell!
Rosemary Valero-O’Connell is a cartoonist and illustrator born in Minneapolis, raised in Zaragoza, and currently residing in Brooklyn, New York.
She is the co-creator of acclaimed graphic novel Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me, alongside Mariko Tamaki, and the sole creator of Don’t Go Without Me and Golden Record. Her work has received 2 Eisner awards, 4 Ignatz awards (including “Outstanding Artist” two consecutive years), a Harvey, a Prism, a Society of Illustrators Gold Medal, and a Printz Honor.
She hopes to one day own the largest collection of kewpie dolls in New York City.
We can’t wait to have them here in Perth!
Rosemary will be giving a free talk on the Academy Day on the 27th and taking part in our Market Hall on the 28th. Make sure to keep an eye on our socials for our full program announcement as bookings will be essential for talks and workshops on both days. But the Market Hall on Sunday is always open to the public!
