About

I am a children’s book illustrator with a passion for creating delightful, colorful, and whimsical illustrations that dance across the page. With experience in both traditional and digital illustration I explore all kinds of semi-traditional and semi-digital ways of creating new and exciting illustrations. I specialize in character and nature driven artwork. My work explores fantastical worlds full of cheeky and energetic characters that tend to get into mischief. I love the magic of visual storytelling, it unites people across oceans and ages, and holds us all together as we turn the page eager to know just exactly what happens next.

In addition to my work in children’s book illustration, I also explore young adult and graphic novel illustration. Illustrations for graphic novels and young adult novels capture such a wide range of audiences with so many incredible stories. I love the intensity of the emotions captured in these stories and enjoy the challenge of illustrating them.

I enjoy the challenge of finding thoughtful stories full of dynamic and sweet characters and breathing even more life into them through colorful and lively illustrations.
