DENISE GALLAGHER + LAFAYETTE PUBLIC LIBRARY

August 25, 2023

Each September, the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries nationwide remind students, parents, and caregivers that signing up for a library card is the first step on the path to academic achievement and lifelong learning. To add to the excitement, libraries issue limited-edition library cards.


Denise Gallagher was commissioned to create the art for this year’s limited-edition library card for the Lafayette Public Library in her home of Lafayette, Louisiana. Denise is a published author and illustrator for children, so this project was a perfect fit for her and she was thrilled at the opportunity to inspire a love of reading.

Denise’s illustration features a child whose imagination has been sparked by a story and is engaging in a fantastical book party along with whimsical characters, confetti, butterflies, and a spot of tea.

 

When asked how she became interested in drawing and picture books, Denise replied, “My mom was a kindergarten teacher. As a child, I remember reading the books in her classroom library and being inspired to

create my own characters and stories. As I grew, my love of picture books never waned. The stories, the characters, the color, the magic — these are what fill my creative heart with joy and continue to inspire me.”

SWENSONS DRIVE-IN + AMY MIKLER

May 20, 2026
When TRG Agency tapped Amy Mikler to shoot the Swensons campaign in Ohio, the ask was pretty specific. Make it feel real, but make it work. That's a harder brief than it sounds, because most photographers can do one or the other. Amy did both. The images came back warm and genuinely lived-in, the kind where you can't quite tell where the direction ended and the moment began, which is exactly the point. If you're building a campaign around real people doing real things and you need the images to actually land, that's Amy's territory.
