As a librarian, I have attended ALA conferences. I always dreamed of being on the other side as a published author/illustrator. A special shout out to Sylvie Randall for making my nails "Just Ducky" for the upcoming ALA conference.‪

It's a beautiful day in Eastern PA and I'm planning on whistling while I take a walk just like Troll. This is the first panel of my Troll and Baby Duck series. I'm working on more so stay tuned!

This illustration is for the upcoming EPA SCBWI conference @highlightsfound at the end of April. I like working on Art Director's assignments. I find some to be specific and other's open ended.This one was more open ended. I chose to illustrate a scene from my developing story - Super Hero Nero.

This is my portrait of Dr. Harvey Wiley one of the founders of the FDA. I encourage everyone to watch The Poison Squad on American Experience on PBS which highlights the work of chemist Harvey Wiley and what life was like before our food was regulated by the US government.

There is finally snow in Eastern PA! This is an illustration that I created a couple of years ago with my characters - Lola & Louie. I drew these same characters for years to help me make consistent characters.

Yahoo! Round two of my illustrations for Just Ducky: A Friendship Takes Flight are submitted! This book was a lot of work (aren't they all?) and I'm so happy to be working with the wonderful staff @cardinalrulepress For those who have encouraged me, I thank you with my whole heart.

It's very cold here in Eastern PA (as it should be in January mind you). I don't mind but I feel the need to get up and dance every couple hours while working on a deadline for my upcoming picture book - Just Ducky. Gigi teaches Bella & Blue her dance moves after she slips a tape in her boom box.
