glimpse at my studio

Here are a few peeks into my studio.  It was built especially for me and is a mini replica of my house.
I do my illustration here and also paint...when I'm not illustrating.  I always love seeing where artists live and work.  So here's a tiny bit of me.

My lil mascot!  All the work going on around here and he is just as relaxed as ever.  It's nice to have

this little guy following me around all day.  He looks great in red, don't you think?

Forever Four book series!

The first two books in the Forever Four book series / Grosset & Dunlap.... are available this month!

I created the character illustrations for Paulina, Miko, Tally and Ivy.  Wonderful design and use of type on the covers. I'm currently working on the illustration for the third book.

New illustrations for American Girl!

Here is a sampling of some illustrations I recently did for an American Girl story called "The Valentine
Bandit".  It's in the February issue of their magazine on stands now.  I love working with A.G!

Pretty in pink

Getting geared up for the new year.  Hoping this year is a year for growth, a year of change.  Here is a girl I kind of whipped up based on a photo I found.  I love her eyes.

finishing up a few things that have been sitting as sketches for a while. Here are some girls who

were screaming to be colored. Playing around with textures and layers.

Happy Holidays!
