You can make art.
The biggest step isn't getting good at art, it's being willing to make art that doesn't match the idea of "good art" in your head.
Making a lot of imperfect art is an essential step toward making perfect art; a counterproductive goal you shouldn't have anyway.
Just make art.

Looking for activities to promote your kids books? — How about a paper mobile craft?
Check out the template I made (on Canva) so you can easily add your own art for these cut-out activities.
Neat for book launches or school visits!

Just realized that I never shared about my new 2025 picture book release here on BlueSky! Receiving so much love and excitement from teachers and librarians for this one. I've seen glimpses of the artwork and it is AMAZING! Can't wait to share more.
