Hello, #kidlitartpostcard friends! I'm a picture book illustrator who loves magical scenes, warm stories, and moments of humor. 🤠 These possum cowboys are my current obsession!

A possum wearing a red cowboy hat and belt with a bedazzled "L" on the buckle leans back against a fence in the foreground. In the background, another possum wearing a blue cowboy hat is dragged along by his lasso as a roadrunner sprints away. They are surrounded by a desert landscape and plateaus.

I've been really enjoying skating on the Ottawa canal this year, and I love seeing all the littles out in their super-puffy snowsuits learning to skate.

For a personal project I've been working on... Memories of the kindly, elderly neighbour I had growing up whose house, I recall, was very pink.

Gouache painting of elderly woman holding open the door for a cute little girl to come in. The inside of the home has pink wallpaper, pink carpet, pink curtains... You get it, it's pink.

Quick timed owl sketches

Rough illustration of a brown owl on a stump. Looking judgy and slightly irritated, as only owls can.

Some plovers I sketched for #birbfest. Gouache and pencil crayon.

Illustration of a mother plover and her fuzzy chick. The chick is a little bit sassy.
