Ms. Azarian lives in Plainfield. Her woodcut alphabet prints are familiar to more than one generation of schoolchildren, and she has illustrated over 40 books. One of them, “Snowflake Bentley,” a book about Vermont's famous photographer of snow crystals, won the coveted Caldecott award in 1999.
In her untitled contribution, she has beatifully situated a Vermont village within the demanding form of our leaf, featuring a high autumn landscape that is both intimate and infinite.
