From sketch to storybook, I help authors and publishers transform ideas into beautifully illustrated worlds.

If you’re looking for vibrant, joyful, and high-quality art that elevates your children’s book to a collectible keepsake — I’d love to bring your vision to life.

My commissions are for families, authors, and visionaries who believe children’s stories deserve artistry, not shortcuts. 🖌️
Each book is a luxury — because of the love and detail infused in every page

You know what's more important than CONFIDENCE? ....COURAGE! Stop waiting until you feel confident to share your work online, send that cold email to your dream client or record that process video. The only way you'll feel CONFIDENT is by doing the thing! Do it scared, do it imperfect! #kidlit

Your unique voice matters. In this fast pace world, overtaken by AI, side hustles and passive income. Be the passion. Let your story shine through your art. Be a child again, and play. #kidlitartist #arttips #kidlit #yourvoicematters #artmotivation #inspirationalquotes

Illo Agency Art Challenge invites you to explore themes of diversity, culture, and identity through illustration. The first prompt for September was "Everyday Magic". This is my interpretation 😊

I’ll be dropping by #kidlitartpostcard throughout the day. If I like your post, you’re seeking representation and you have dummy books available, I’d love to see them. Reminder that this month I’m only looking at queries from BIPOC authors and author-illustrators. QueryTracker.net/query/michel...
