Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! My name is Theresa and I use traditional media to make picture book illustrations. I am available for representation.

In this picture book illustration, a back-lit, curious child pulls back some weeds with her red mitten to see what's hiding behind them. The art is rendered in mixed media: watercolor, colored pencil, and ink with a warm color palate of reds, golds, and browns.

What a treat to see Barbara McClintock give the annual BERL Lecture today at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. She spoke about her new (very special!) book “Where Are You Brontë” by Tomie de Paola

It’s #KidLitArtPostcard day!

Hi, I’m Theresa, a #kidlit illustrator-author based in the USA. I am seeking representation for picture book projects. I use a variety of traditional media for my artwork.

Colored pencil illustration of playful child with big scribbly hair, jump roping in a driveway, with a long shadow coming up to the garage door, under a big lunar eclipse in a kind of surreal landscape, marked by vertical and horizontal lines

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I love to use traditional media in my illustrations like gouache and colored pencil. I'm spending this snow day in a cozy kitchen.
