Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I love illustrating and writing for kids. I use unique color palettes to play with lighting and create dynamic compositions, and I love stories that have magic, nature, and humor! Editors and ADs, please consider me for any picture book projects that fit my style. 😃

As I put the final touches on the typeset manuscript for HeartLand, I feel ecstatic and terrified. Will this book get hugged? Will kids care? I hope so. I hope it makes them laugh. I hope it makes them think. But right now, I'm going to focus on the joy I feel in sharing its cover with you! #kidlit
