Ken Eric Nutt (born November 29, 1951), who uses the pen name Eric Beddows, is a Canadian artist and illustrator of children's books. His pseudonym combines his middle name with his mother's maiden name. He has used it for his illustrative work since 1986 to distinguish it from his work as an artist.[1]
Beddows was born in Woodstock, Ontario and studied fine arts at York University from 1970 to 1972. He moved to Stratford, Ontario and worked various jobs at a gallery there.
His art has been shown at Gallery Stratford, the Woodstock Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Windsor.[2]
Awards and honors
In 1992, Beddows was nominated for IBBY's Hans Christian Andersen Award for Illustrator.[3][4]
