ILLUSTRATOR
Steven Weinberg
Steven Weinberg is an award-winning kids’ book illustrator (The Middle Kid, You Must be This Tall), whose artwork has been featured in The New York Times and Gray’s Sporting Journal. He lives in the Catskills with his wife and daughters, where they run the delightful Spruceton Inn.
“From an opening between the trees he could overlook all the lower country for many a mile of rich woodland. He saw at a distance the lordly Hudson, far, far below him, moving on its silent but majestic course, with the reflection of a purple cloud or the sail of a lagging bark, here and there, sleeping on its glassy bosom, and at last losing itself in the blue highlands.”
- WASHINGTON IRVING, “Rip Van Winkle”
