Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! This is from a current project I’m working on and hope to send out one day. I’d love to illustrate other picture books, early readers and early graphic novels. #kidlitart #kidlitartist #kidlitartpostcardday

Happiest of book birthdays to @pippinmathur.bsky.social and DINOSAUR DAYS!

Dinosaurs don't always know how to behave, but they certainly have a lot of fun. Join a #dinosaur as she romps through her day, wreaking havoc in this joyful celebration of childhood. #dinosaurs #picturebook

Here’s a little something for #kidlitartpostcard day. I’d love to illustrate picture books and early readers/chapter books in addition to my own books. A big fan of fantasy, sweet & funny! #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebooks #illustrator

I was the visiting author for the Young Authors celebration in the Shenandoah Valley.

For 4 days, I gave presentations and talked to students, teachers, reading specialists and librarians about books, writing and art.

It was an amazing, inspiring & uplifting experience. #schoolvisitsarethebest

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I’d love to illustrate other author’s traditionally published work. And I’d really love to have a mermaid book one day! rep’d by Jennifer Unter. #kidlitart #kidlitartist #mermaidart #kidlitpostcard

A pretty mermaid with light brown skin and green and gold scales sits on a rock holding out her hand for a bird who is flying up with a flower clutched in its claws.
