Newly Released on November 15th, 2025!
Released February 1st 2024
I made a series of 10 prints that were then used in the book "The Adventures of Emery: Into Rainbow Land"
I have started a new book about bugs! No, I am not sure of a title yet but wanted to share some of the awesome watercolors pictures that are happening right now.
"Dinosaur for the Day" is my first book that is focus on my son Leo. It was a great book to illustrate but also took the longest to release. Why you may ask, well this book was alot of starting and stopping. Sometimes life gets busy and I procrastinated doing the hard illustrations in the book. My favorite picture was the night scene of the Dinosaur catching fire flies in the front yard. I have never painted a nightscape before and I am really proud of how it turned out.
This book was written probably in 2023. Each book takes months of illustrating and a lot of prep work. I really enjoy solving the mystery of the Tooth Fairy world. The Illustrations are a mix of watercolor and paper craft.
For an example, the image of the jars are a mix of both. I watercolor the jars and then scanned the image into a file. I then printed the picture on transparency paper. I cut out the different jars of glitter using sparkle paper. Glue the glitter paper in each jar and then laid my transparency paper on top. Then I re-scanned everything back into a new file.
That was a lot... right?
Fun Facts: Into Rainbow Land was the first book Emery and I worked on together. It will be my third book that I released but my first book that I wrote and illustrated. It needed a lot of work or elbow grease for it to come together. A big thank you to my Editor, Laura Humphrey.
Majority of my books are illustrated in watercolor medium. Watercolor art was my first love and I am grateful to be sharing it with others.
