Audrey White Day’s (BFA ’22) family knew something was afoot when, at age 4, she cleared the Lego bricks from the table and filled it with art supplies. Later when Audrey was in first grade, all the kids would gather around to watch her draw.
When Audrey was in high school, a BYU art camp swayed her college decision. At BYU, she says, “I had incredible teachers. For them, art wasn’t the message but the medium for another message, which was something higher: God and faith. That impressed me.”
Day loves the beauty she sees in the world and pushes herself to represent it meaningfully in story and text. She recently graduated with a master’s in children’s book illustration from the UK’s Cambridge School of Art. Her work has appeared in many places, including children’s books and magazines.
