Betsy Bowen is an illustrator, woodcut artist and award-winning author of nine books. Her popular woodcut prints and books appear in galleries throughout Minnesota and the country. "Antler, Bear, Kazoo - A North Woods Album of Songs" was inspired by her first three books: "Antler, Bear, Canoe;" "Gathering;" and "Tracks in the Wild," published by Houghton-Mifflin.

The mother of three sons, she has lived with her family on the rugged north shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota for more than thirty years.
