Debra Joy McWilliams
Debra Joy McWilliams, a California artist and fantasy illustrator, works in many media. Among her favorite subjects are the Arthurian legends. In addition to her color illustrations for Barbara Tepa Lupack's King Arthur's Crown (2004), she created the pen-and-ink drawings for Alan Lupack's The Dream of Camelot (1990).
Exhibited here are McWilliams’ unique origami figures of Arthur (on horseback), Merlin, Lancelot, and Guinevere. Also displayed is one of her color illustrations—of "Sir Lancelot" (for King Arthur’s Crown) - showing several stages of the development of the image.
