"Praise for Hand Drawn Vancouver ""From the majestic seawall to the everyday buzz of city life, [FitzGerald] captures the essence of Vancouver and its neighbourhoods with colour and humour."" —MONTECRISTO Magazine ""The book, a combination sketchbook/journal, is a smile-inducing record of neighbourhoods in Vancouver and the North Shore."" — Vancouver Sun   Praise for Sketch by Sketch “FitzGerald has carved out her own niche as an artist who draws cities and buildings and special places, as a chronicler of the history of communities, a teller of stories of lives spent in particular places.” —Lisa Cochrane, The Chronicle Herald Praise for Hand Drawn Halifax “Fun and intimate portraits celebrate the city’s buildings, neighbourhoods, and residents.” —East Coast Living “Emma’s lively illustrations and words capture the essence of Halifax.” —Atlantic Books Today"

Author Information

EMMA FITZGERALD was born to Irish parents in Lesotho, a small mountainous kingdom in Southern Africa. She moved to Canada at a young age and spent most of her childhood in Vancouver, BC. Emma received a BFA in Visual Art from the University of British Columbia in 2004, and a Masters in Architecture from Dalhousie University in 2008. She has worked in architecture offices across Canada and in Johannesburg, South Africa. Her love of drawing on location led to her first book, Hand Drawn Halifax, and its follow-up, Sketch by Sketch Along Nova Scotia's South Shore. She then turned her interest in people and places to where she grew up; Hand Drawn Vancouver was published in 2020 as she began working on Hand Drawn Victoria. In between her Hand Drawn series, Emma has illustrated five children's books, including EveryBody's Different on EveryBody Street, written by Sheree Fitch. She lives and draws in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.
