Evaline Ness was born on April 24, 1911 in Union City, Ohio. She studied at Ball State Teachers College before deciding to pursue a career in art. She married Elliot Ness, well-known member of the FBI (and the inspiration for The Untouchables<\/i>), in 1938 and moved to Washington, D.C. She continued her studies at Corcoran Art School and Academie de Belle Arte in Rome.<\/p>\n

Ness was a well-established studio artist and a highly paid commercial artist when she was first asked to illustrate a children\u2019s book manuscript, The Bridge<\/i> by Charlton Osborn, published in 1960. Ness began writing when she created a story for a series of woodcuts set in Haiti. Josephina February <\/i>is the simple tale of a girl\u2019s search for a lost burro. A Pocketful of Cricket<\/i> and Tom Tit Tot<\/i> were both chosen for Caldecott Honors. Ness wrote and illustrated Sam, Bangs & Moonshine<\/i> in 1967, winning the Caldecott Medal.<\/p>\n

She died in 1986. Her work is housed at the deGrummund Collection at the University of Southern Mississippi.<\/p>\n
