A vibrant, colorful children's book illustration of a young boy and girl planting a tree together. The boy wears a green sweater and blue jeans, smiling as he uses a shovel. The girl, in green overalls, holds a young sapling decorated with a small red heart. They are in a grassy field with a white picket fence and rolling green hills in the background. The mood is cheerful, bright, and heartwarming.

A yellow duck offers a dandelion puff to a gray bunny as an orange butterfly floats over them, and the wind appears to blow a few dandelion seeds and storm clouds away.

Hello there #KidLitArtPostcard day!
I illustrate children’s books and I love portraying animals and children with sass, humour and tenderness. I’m drawn to books that celebrate our connection to nature.

My mantra for 2026: MARINATING MY PROFICIENCY
True expertise isn't acquired instantly but is built in the "quiet moments" and through daily habits and discipline.
#creativeprocess #creativejourney #picturebookartist #picturebookauthor #kidslit #kidlit
As we delve into this new year, I thought it would be fun to share with y'all some of the key elements that make up my creative process each week. Today is my final creative process share for January and I am sharing my mantra for 2026: MARINATING MY PROFICIENCY True expertise isn't acquired instantly but is built in the "quiet moments" and through daily habits and discipline. The idea of coming up with either a word or mantra to steady you through a year is certainly not a new concept. But for me, it is a practice that started after being inspired by my dear friend @ggpotter who does it with such intention and purpose, spending time contemplating his goals and journey for the coming year.

"Mia stood at the edge of the playground clutching her lunchbox. Everyone else was laughing in the sunshine, but she wasn't sure where to sit." Illo born out of @scbwiatx.bsky.social webinar 2025. @sandiesonke.bsky.social led us through prompts to draw on the spot based on the words she provided.
Mia Sheep felt lonely as she started her first day at a new school. Everyone was laughing and having fun and she wasn't sure where she fit in. This illustration was born out of a @scbwiaustintx webinar that I attended in October 2025. The wonderful @sandiesonke led us through a few prompts to come up with illustrations on the spot based on the words she provided. It was a great exercise and if you swipe you can see my original doodle illustration that I did during the webinar. I decided this month to do a more polished version with ink line work and watercolor. The original prompt that @sandiesonke gave is the following. Webinar Prompt: "Mia stood at the edge of the playground clutching her lunchbox. Everyone else was laughing in the sunshine, but she wasn't sure where to sit." #inkandwatercolor #handdrawn #inkdrawing #watercolor #illustration #illustrator #picturebookillustration #picturebookart #picturebookartist #childrensbookart #childrenspicturebooks #kidslit #kidlit #worldwatercolorgroup

Things have been pretty bleak lately, so I have been scribbling non stop since yesterday. It's nice to see that i have an outlet which helps me keep my sanity during my depression episodes.
