Drawing inspiration from folk-tales and wildlife, I use watercolor magic to create children's and nature filled illustrations.

Overview

I am an illustrator specializing in watercolor children's illustration, picture books and book covers. Since October 2015, I have completed multiple picture book projects for private clients with emphasis on page-turns, separating text to create pageflow, and including age appropriate imagery. In addition I've had the pleasure to create two book covers for books coming out in late 2017/early 2018, and work with Reeves International.

When working with a client I typically provide thumbnail sketches, and from those develop more detailed sketches and move to the final renders.
