Illustration
The pieces below are a selection of commissioned, published, and personal work. Watercolor, ink, and digital illustration tools are my favorite media; frequent themes in my work include nature, nostalgia, dreams, parenting, and humor. I want to make people smile.
My background in book publishing makes me a versatile, flexible partner for projects of all types and sizes. Learn more about me here.
