Overview
Hello! I have been creating illustrations for children’s books & young adult books for over 17 years, having illustrated over 70 published books. Throughout the years, I have illustrated for publishing companies as well as independent authors. Some of the companies I have illustrated for are Baker Publishing, Spalding Education Intl, Blue Moose Press, Sqwishland, Discovery Tales, Ranger Trek, and more. I enjoy creating colorful, fun, and imaginative illustrations for kids and adults alike. I strive to blend my creativity with emotion in each character and illustration. I have a passion for illustrating books and I feel grateful to be able to work on so many already in my career. And I always look forward to what new books I will be illustrating in the future.
The benefit of working with me is that I have the experience to develop appealing characters, high quality illustrations, and know how to properly set up final page files for the final book print production. Plus, regular and clear communication is very important to me as we work together on your book. I take great care in every part of the process, from initial character concepts, to the illustrations, then the final print prep, and even helping with file uploads and marketing suggestions. For me, I truly see myself as a partner in your success, not just a hired artist going through the motions. Feel free to message me today and we can talk about your story and how I can help bring the characters & scenes to life for you.
