CREATIVE STATEMENT
What I love most about illustrating for the winter holidays is conjuring up the magical scenery of the season. Nestled in the woods of Santa Cruz mountains sometimes I feel my little cabin home is like living in a fairy tale. By incorporating pastoral scenes, botanicals and charming woodland creatures I draw from the influences around me. I’ll often walk and snap a berry twig or fir branch for inspiration. My work evokes an idyllic, idealized and calming simplicity, rather than the usual hustle and bustle of the holidays.

Q&A
What is your favorite holiday dish?
Hot spiced cider.
Which book do you recommend for holiday reading?
My favorite holiday book is Truman Capote’s A Christmas Memory, an autobiographical story about a young boy and his great aunt’s odyssey to gather the ingredients for Christmas fruit cakes. It’s a heart breaking story about love and companionship.

My go-to holiday host gift is homemade herbal bath salts with bay laurel and lavender.
