Illustration from ‘El’s Mirror.’

In our galleries this Fall, see how a storybook comes to life via the imaginative mind of visual artist Ahmad Taylor. We all love a children's book, but how many of us know how a book's illustrations move from abstract concept to colorful publication? In this exhibition, Illustrations from the Mirror, Taylor, an Atlanta-based artist who created the illustrations for the book El's Mirror, invites visitors to learn about the illustration process, from initial storyboarding to character studies, while immersing them in El's world.
