Portfolio
I work in watercolor, gouache, and oil, and in Photoshop and Illustrator. Much of it starts with nature and the small interactions of daily life.
My new picture book
Journey through an enchanting night in this nature walk of a children's book. Musical prose and detailed, moonlit illustrations wander through fields, ponds, and woods, as children discover nocturnal animals and their sounds, habitats, and behaviors.
