Wake Up Duck is the collaborative work of artists Sarah Pike and Liz Howe.
Sarah is Wake Up Duck's illustrator. She has drawn and painted original rabbits and other woodland creatures since late elementary school. Sarah holds an MFA in Painting from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, continues an active studio practice, and owns Free Fall Laser in North Adams, MA. At Free Fall Laser she assists artists and designers in developing and producing high end laser cut products and projects.
Liz Howe is Wake Up Duck's engine, rhyme maker and word-smith. She too is an artist and holds an MFA in Ceramics from The School for American Crafts at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Liz is a teacher of art who maintains an active studio practice, writes for various publications, and sends inventive, free-style birthday songs in lieu of cards!
Together Liz and Sarah use simple words and images to describe tender experiences of childhood.
