Born in Germany and raised in New York City, Vesper Stamper writes and illustrates novels which tell, through both words and pictures, stories of history’s rhymes. Her debut illustrated YA novel, What the Night Sings, about the aftermath of the Holocaust through the eyes of a young musician, was a National Book Award Nominee, a National Jewish Book Award Finalist, a Morris Award Finalist, Golden Kite Honor Book and Sydney Taylor Book Award Winner, and was named one of the Best YA Books of 2018/9 by YALSA, the Wall Street Journal and Kirkus. She also illustrates picture books for the younger set.
Vesper has a BFA in Illustration from Parsons and an MFA in Illustration as Visual Essay from School of Visual Arts and is the host of the podcast Vesperisms: The Art of Thinking for Yourself, which aims to cultivate a rehumanized worldview through artistic thinking, and speaks at conferences and institutions at home and abroad. She lives with her husband, filmmaker Ben Stamper, in the Northeast, and teaches illustration at School of Visual Arts.
Recently Vesper was a featured presenter at the first ever Symbolic World Summit in Tarpon Springs, FL with Christian thinkers Jonathan Pageau, Richard Rohlin, and storyteller Martin Shaw. Come hear Vesper share her insights into re-enchanting the world, the role of fairy tales, and the rediscovery of Eros.
