CREATIVE STATEMENT
I have been illustrating children’s stories since I can remember. I love illustrating the magic of everyday moments, relatable characters and adventures big and small. For me, the most compelling quality of a successful children’s illustration is delight. Delight lives in a character that is quirky yet endearing, a story that begs to be read aloud, and a setting full of wonder that the reader spends time in.
