I have a new book out! This one is titled Sybil’s Magic Muffins written by Sara Holst. It’s about a little girl who cooks her emotions into her recipes. This was a lot of fun because I got to illustrate food as well as a ton of different emotions. #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsbooks #picturebooks

The two books I’m currently working on are very character driven so I figured I’d share a little character sheet from a past book, Bernadette. I love working with authors and helping to bring their characters come to life!

Join me on Substack if your interested in following my art journey. I do not post a lot of personal thoughts and feelings on social, but I am aiming at using Substack for more reflective posts about where I am on my artistic journey. More behind the scenes. 🙂
