Made it to NYC and feeling very grateful to be here.

There’s something powerful about being in a room full of people who care deeply about books, art, and stories for kids. Excited (and nervous!) to share my work in the portfolio showcase and today.

Revisiting my Traveling Teresa cover reminded me how stories change with us. I followed the story again — postcards, a magic purse, a little sparkle — and now it finally feels right.

Illustrated book cover concept featuring a whimsical character named Teresa with postcards and a small magic purse, shown in a warm, storybook style. Additional slides show a rough sketch and close-up details of the postcards, highlighting the evolution of the artwork. Rough pencil sketch of the Traveling Teresa book cover, showing the main character holding a small magic purse with postcards floating around her. Loose lines and minimal detail highlight the early composition and storytelling elements.

I’m about to start querying a new picture book with this guy (and some ghosts). We could all use a little kitty cuddle these days. 💜

Remember when arcades had machines whose prize was a "lucky" rabbits foot? The colorful array always captured my eye. Weird to think about now.

I drew a girl-dad (he is neurodivergent) celebrating NYE w/his daughter! 🩷🥳 I added in noise cancelling headphones for the Poppa-Gator to demonstrate how we all utilize different resources to help us succeed!

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!

I write and illustrate board books, picture books, readers, and comics. I love quirky characters and projects that let me show a range of emotions.
