Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! It's the little moments of warmth and connection (and creating) that make the world a little less scary. Especially for witches :)

An oldie from when we lost power and I had to use pencil and paper. (color added later in Photoshop once the power went back on)

Some character design sketches from The Blue Canoe written by the incomparable @sherylbooks.bsky.social . I totally channeled Yoga With Adriene vibes for the mom: warm, calm, full of yoga love.

Hi everyone! I'm new to Bluesky and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a children's book illustrator out of Rhode Island and have my second book out called The Blue Canoe, written by Sheryl McFarlane. I love drawing with a sharp 6B, and conveying love, warmth, and a little magic in my art.
