About

I am a children’s book illustrator with a passion for creating delightful narratives with the use of colorful designs. My whimsical characters evoke a fluid style that dances 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 which explores fantastical worlds full of cheeky and energetic characters that tend towards playful mischief. I love the magic of visual storytelling and the way it unites people across oceans and ages. I believe firmly in the idea that artistic design holds us together as we turn the pages eager to know exactly what happens next.

In addition to my work in children’s book illustration, I also explore young adult, and graphic novel illustrations. Such platforms capture a wide range of audiences with so many incredible stories. I appreciate the intensity of the emotions captured in these stories and enjoy the challenge of illustrating them. Furthermore, I enjoy the challenge of finding thoughtful stories with dynamic and satisfyingly developed characters because they are the perfect venue for breathing art into life through colorful and lively illustrations.
