I have always loved to draw. My professional illustration journey began when I created The Coloring Book Artist, a small business designing custom coloring books for brides, business owners, and organizations. I loved listening to someone's ideas and helping them turn those ideas into a book that felt personal and completely their own. 

 

That same love of collaboration eventually led me to children's books. I've had the privilege of working with independent authors and small publishers, and each project brings new things to learn, new friends to make and new characters to bring to life. 

​

My illustrations focus on creating warm, expressive characters. My goal is to understand the author's vision, support the manuscript, and create artwork that invites young readers into a story they don't want to leave.
