Hello, Bluesky World!
I’m a former professor turned full-time illustrator, crafting stories and images as an independent publisher. I’m seeking representation and also moonlight as the Illustration Coordinator for SCBWI’s Southern Breeze region. Let’s make magic! 💙

Getting the hang of this! It’s nice to see how lots of practice keeps showing improvements :) Like a puzzle so fun!

Learning new skills! #scbwi #scbwiillustrators

A few new works from larger collections. I’ve been so wonderfully busy this year. I feel so fortunate to have devoted a skill that gives back in a joyful heart and a peaceful mind.

Something I’ve learned about my drawings the hard way…ALWAYS do the head and hands first.

Sadly; even the ‘best’ art schools are now teaching AI. There are newly formed classes for it. 😓
