it’s #kidlitartpostcard day! Thought I’d share something sweet and summery in colored pencil. I don’t know about you, but these days I yearn for some peace and quiet. And a good climbing tree.

I’m a picture book illustrator based outside of philly. Seeking representation!

sometimes you gotta re-work a piece. learning what feels like “me” when it comes to watercolor :)

Any preferences?

Slightly reworking an old piece that I still adore for my new portfolio. I love drawing multigenerational scenes…

Summer’s here, and so is my #kidlitartpostcard! This one is packed with some of my favourite things – warm summer nights, starfish, kayaking, watching seaweed dance in the water… and mermaids.
