I write YA fantasy, picture books, and illustrate. I love dragons and silliness and connecting through the power of words. #12x12PB #SCBWI #SVSLearn

@Bhandiboe Love these pics! You have a talent for capturing cute, real, and deep. Amazing!!!

It’s #PortfolioDay day apparently! I go between PB art and YA comic art. Hello. I know, they are like drastically different but somehow still feel the same in the chaos.

@D_J_Paquette This sounds so tender. And so useful!

Happy December #KidLitArtPostcardDay! I'm an #Author and #Illustrator seeking representation.
When I'm not writing and illustrating, you can find me digging in the dirt with my kids🌱🌻 .

This kid can't wait for her own boots from Riley's marvellous (but garage trashing) rain boot making machine. Character from a piece for @svslearn 's Feb prompt.

At least the frogs are happy in the rain! A character from the spread I'm created for SVSLearn's Critique Arena Feb prompt.

Boots!

We woke up to a lovely misty morning here. I find something very calming about a wet, blanketing fog. It's isolating, cozy, and has just a hint of a hint of other-worldly-ness that sparks the imagination.

Grandma puddle jumping. Character from my submission for the @SVSLearn Feb prompt.

There's a little kid inside each of us. Sometimes we're scared. Sometimes we have a lot of questions. And sometimes we just get to enjoy the little moments.

Close-up of the headline holder from my spread for SVSLearn's Feb Critique Arena prompt. What could be worse during a record breaking rainfall than a rain boot shortage? (I mean, if you're writing for kids, that is... ;) ).

Meet Riley! A creative little problem solver I made for the February @svslearn Critique Arena prompt. My West Coast soul loved playing with the rainy day palette for this spread.

My morning muse: This is miss Oreo, our Schnoodle Puppy. She was looking extra cute this morning and needed drawing.

And done! Just a little hedgehog in a boot having a chat with a snail.

This rusty blue can called for a chipper little yellow bird. Thankfully, this finch came by to sing a pretty song.

@CreamPoffle Gorgeous mountains!

I love the sound of busy bees as I'm working in my garden; they are the best co-workers.
