Hi #kidlitartpostcard day! Are you not ready to let go of the spooky season? Me either. ๐Ÿค—

โ€œIs she her long-lost twin separated at birth? A doppelgรคnger conjured from moonlight? An alien wearing her face? She canโ€™t be sureโ€ฆ but they met on this quiet autumn night, and they seem to be perfect dance partners. ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒSo let this moment linger a little longer, before the night fades away.โ€ 

๐ŸŒŸ If you think Iโ€™d be a good fit for your next story, please reach out to my lovely agent @kaitfeldmann at @ktliterary

Gouache painting in lush dark green and blue featuring a cross-section of a pond at night. A green harlequin-patterned frog with a hint of tadpole tail climbs half out of the water into the cattails, looking at the stars. In the darkness lurks a taloned heron foot. The water is full of tadpoles, pond weed, insect larvae, and frog eggs. A single bright mayfly hangs on a cattail leaf above the frog's head.

itโ€™s #kidlitartpostcard day! Thought Iโ€™d share something sweet and summery in colored pencil. I donโ€™t know about you, but these days I yearn for some peace and quiet. And a good climbing tree.

Iโ€™m a picture book illustrator based outside of philly. Seeking representation!

sometimes you gotta re-work a piece. learning what feels like โ€œmeโ€ when it comes to watercolor :)

Any preferences?

Slightly reworking an old piece that I still adore for my new portfolio. I love drawing multigenerational scenesโ€ฆ
