Morrissey, Dean

Property categories:


Dean Morrissey has been drawing and creating characters since his childhood in Boston. Inspired by Disney matte paintings and comic book heroes early on, he grew to appreciate the works of the masters, such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Pyle and N.C. Wyeth.

Dean worked a variety of jobs until deciding to paint full time in the late 1970’s. He worked as a freelance book cover illustrator for over 15 different publishers in New York and won numerous awards. Dean is self taught, and considers the demands of cover illustration to have been his “art school”.

In 1991, Dean began to paint some images from a story that he was creating. His books include Ship of Dreams (Harry N Abrams, 1994), The Great Kettles: A Tale of Time (Harry N Abrams, 1997), The Song of Celestine (Little, Brown and Co., 1998), The Christmas Ship (HarperCollins, 2000), A Christmas Carol (Greenwich Workshop Press, 2000), The Moon Robber (HarperCollins, 2001), The Winter King (HarperCollins, 2002), and The Monster Trap (HarperCollins, 2004).

His awards include The Society of Illustrators Gold Medal for The Great Kettles, The Chesley Award for The Light Ship (2002), and he is a current nominee for this year’s Chesley Award for Anna of the Celts (2003). Dean lives with his wife Shan and his son on the South Shore of Massachusetts.
