It’s #kidlitartpostcard once again!
Here’s a little fella with a big dream who’s hitched himself to the moon and haven’t we all, at some point in our lives? 🌕
I’m Michelle, an illustrator and author available for children’s book projects and representation.
Are we the right fit?

I’m forever making stuff.
Happy #Halloween!
Here is my very odd and very handmade puppet, Enoch, from Over the Garden Wall that I finished just in time. 🎃

It's #PortfolioDay!
I'm a children's book illustrator/author based in Indiana. On the hunt for projects that can make use of my love for vintage illustration, stories that make you give a little gasp and explore seasonal fun. ✏️

Historic homes are so fun to draw.
What memories filled the buildings? Families? Holidays? Quiet moments? Tooth fairy visits? 🍁

This lovely home was the William Ward House at 1213 Columbia Street in Lafayette, Indiana.
1858-2011

Here are some winter examples for your project!
I love using light and stillness to evoke emotion.

Let’s have a moment for old back to school photos that were printed, placed in a photo book and had those yellowing plastic corners to hold them in that always slid off. 🖍️

A drawing of a long ago home in Lafayette, Indiana named Earlhurst. It was full of gardens, parties and everyday life. 🌿
