The Highlight of my spring

I am SO EXCITED to announce that this spring I will be scholarshipping off to a workshop at the beautiful Hightlights Foundation in Pennsylvania.

Big, giant, enormous thanks to Highlights for awarding me enough funding to be able to take advantage of this incredible opportunity. I wonder if I'll get to meet Goofus and Gallant...

Spring Fever

I Illustrated and designed this Patagonian Cavy love letter for Potter Park Zoo's upcoming spring Wine, Stein & Spirits.  Hope to see you hop on over there (Cavy's kinda hop... in case you are not that dialed into the ways of the Cavy and their adorable body language...)

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe...

Acclaimed author Dawn Ius contracted me to create/illustrate some promo give aways for her latest novel Lizzie.  (Book is available for pre-order now and available wherever you buy books after March 2018.)

I had an ABSOLUTE BLAST creating visuals for this project! I love true crime and the tale of Lizzie Borden has always stuck in my mind.  I was able to read a few chapters this fall to help me capture the characters and I seriously have not stopped thinking about them.  I cannot wait to read the entire book!

An Illustration Collaboration

My dear friend, who is also a pretty incredible YA author, is collaborating with me on a new project. I can't share the details just yet, but here's a little sample of my art to get you through...

Most wonderful time of the year

Pretty much every part of the year from a work standpoint is the most wonderful.  And right now I have a few exciting projects in my mental crockpot, but they are not quite ready to share..yet... So in the meantime, here's some art I completed this week about a super-fun camp for the animal lover kids in my community.

Winter Wine, Stein & Spirits at Potter Park Zoo

Seven swans a swimming

My design clients always keep me a few months ahead of the holiday game. Here's a sneak peek at this year's big Winter Wine, Stein & Spirits at Potter Park Zoo.

I paid tribute to the trumpeter swans that grace the zoo and also the 12 Days of Christmas carol.
