Toot, toot! I'm participating in an auction to raise money for the Armenians of Artsakh. As you may know, they've been forcibly driven from their homeland of millenia to avoid being massacred— and now they're homeless and vulnerable and need our help. Go to: www.32auctions.com/booksforarts...

Announcement for an auction to help Armenians forcibly displaced from their homeland. Depicted: monumental statue of man and woman (head & shoulders) and timeline for bidding in pink + red.

It's #KidlitArtPostcard day! I'm Maral, an illustrator working in mixed media (gouache, cut paper, digital) and based in sunny California. I love all kinds of kidlit, from playful to warm & emotive. See more samples at:

I had a siamese (longhair) who lived 16 years — I miss him so much! He had a lot of little quirks too. Poofig!!

By way of introduction, here I am in "art vs artist"— I'm a picture book creator, The Green Umbrella (North South) and Migrations (Candlewick). My work is award-winning, including the SCBWI National Portfolio Showcase... but I'm shy and retiring. Come and say hello!
