A little bit late this month but... here is my #kidlitartpostcard for November 2025.
I'm excited to announce that Saving Sir Stud Muffin by Nicole Loy is now available on Amazon! This was such a fun book to work on, and my first book with a cat as a main character.

From sketch to storybook, I help authors and publishers transform ideas into beautifully illustrated worlds.
If you’re looking for vibrant, joyful, and high-quality art that elevates your children’s book to a collectible keepsake — I’d love to bring your vision to life.

My commissions are for families, authors, and visionaries who believe children’s stories deserve artistry, not shortcuts. 🖌️
Each book is a luxury — because of the love and detail infused in every page

Illo Agency Art Challenge invites you to explore themes of diversity, culture, and identity through illustration. The first prompt for September was "Everyday Magic". This is my interpretation 😊
