The tree city of Lothlórien, home of the elves. A spiral staircase winds up a giant tree with golden leaves, buildings hanging from its brances like ornaments. At the top of the image, the fellowship greets Galadriel and Celeborn. At the bottom of the image we see Frodo peering into the basin with Galadriel.

Had some spring snow today and with the Japanese crab apples flowering, I thought I'd better get some shots before the weather ruins the flowers...

All aboard! It’s #KidLitArtPostcard Day, and these good boys and girls are off to school! When I was a kid, dogs would sometimes crash recess, causing chaos. Maybe today’s lesson is ‘How to Cause the Best Kind of Mayhem’! What’s on their school schedule? 🐕✨

Haha I loved it too. Thank you, James!

Oh yes! Duh, I forgot to answer your question 😂 But yes, my sons and I are there all the time! We love finding new picture books and chapter books these days.

Hello #KidLitArtPostcard!

I’m an illustrator and author and I like to explore themes of connection between humanity and the natural world in my work. I would love to collaborate on more picture books and board books!
