Personal Profile:
Hello my name is David Wiesner, I am an American writer and illustrator. I was born in Bridgewater, New Jersey, on February 5, 1956. I am now 61 years old.
I graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts and Illustration. The first book that I illustrated was Honest Andrew in 1980. One of my most known works is Tuesday, an almost wordless picture book I wrote in 1991. I have received several Caldecott Medals for my works.
In January through May 14, 2017, I had my own little art exhibit at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. It was called, David Wiesner & the Art of Wordless Storytelling, it let people look back on my most accomplished works from over the years of my career.

My Philosophy
My philosophy was that I created books without words. Later on I hope people realize that a picture speaks a thousand words and you do not always need words to know what is going on. As the future goes on I hope this improves as a common theme.
