Happy Postcard Day October 2025!

I'm excited to breathe life into children's book illustrations and young reader covers and interiors, infusing each project with imagination and charm.

Let's embark on a journey of whimsy and wonder together!

My entry for SCBWI's Draw This Monthly contest. This month the prompt was Travel. I had a lot of fun creating this happy little traveler and her trusty teddy bear.

Another version of poor Julia who was too tall to join the women's army during WWII.

At 6'2" Julia Child was too tall to join the Women's Army, so she joined the OSS. Later known as the CIA.

Did you know that Julia Child helped create shark repellent during WWII while she was in the OSS? The OSS later became known as the CIA. Fascinating woman!

This is an idea in my head for a book, based on Julia Child's time in the OSS.
I like to illustrate with heart, wonder and wimsy and I am looking for my next project.
Happy KidlitArtPostcard Day!

Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down. An illustration from my latest project for Boys Town Press. Vanessa learns to rewrite the stories her mind creates. Even as an adult, I need to remember this lesson!
