I decided to do Folktale Week slightly different this year. I created a comic about The Owl by the Brothers Grimm. #moral #brothersgrimm #fire #owl #fear #hate @folktaleweek #folktaleweek #folktaleweek2025 @scbwi #kidlitartist #fairytale #night #echo #book #charm #storm #dawn

I did a Vision Board for 2024 and my word was Determination. I accomplished a good amount of my goals with more to come in 2025. I Illustrated 2 books, started a part-time design job, teaching, painting and spending time with my family. Happy 2025! @cornellcompany @lillarogers
