Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! One more repeat then on to new work. It’s weird when you have been creating nonstop for a new book but have nothing to show on social media! One more week of to go! #kidlitart We are currently in a winter weather watch, I thought snowy owls were perfectly for today.

New book alert!

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I’m on a deadline so I am using a favorite of mine. Yesterday I was at the farm and saw Honey playing in a puddle and making a muddy mess. Repped by @kellydhouse.bsky.social

Happy first #kidlitartpostcard day of 2026! I am continuing my recent obsession with owls. I even have a cute little story about owl friends I’ve been working on. Even though 2026 doesn’t seem so different from 2025, I’m personally hoping for more positivity and professional growth. #kidlitart

Practicing. It’s nice not painting other than to paint. #kidlitart #artist #illustrator #illustration

Thanks to the new dummy I am prepping for my agent, I am now a bridge construction and machinery expert. Not really, I have a secret weapon that inspired this story…my engineer daughter who patiently taught me the difference between a digger and a dozer. FYI these are neither. See…expert!

Desaturated the front grass. It definitely looks better. #kidlitart #kidlitillustration #picturebookart #picturebookillustration

I did a little update to my image to make the foreground more interesting. Maybe I should desaturate the foreground color a little bit? #kidlitart #kidlitillustration #picturebookart #illustrator #illustration
