During the pandemic, Adrienne was commissioned to illustrate a series of picture books for South Korean Publishers. Also in 2020 she co-wrote and illustrated a YA novel ‘Wind Riders’ for the Brazilian publisher Estrela Cultural. It was also a time of great change, in that Adrienne had to adapt her Picture Book courses to eCourses for online learning for The Irish Writer’s Centre where she was employed since 2014 to run courses annually. Adrienne designed new courses as well as new ways of teaching them {via Zoom} to both past students and a new audience.
