Since Brinkley was the muse for my picture book, Claude, I thought it was only right for him to be the first one to see the galley proof. I think he is trying to say, “Read it to me, mom!” ❤️🐾

Thank you, @familiusbooks.bsky.social for helping me get Claude into readers hands! May 19th can’t get here soon enough!

It's #NationalGoldenRetrieverDay! I had to give you a 'paws-itively' special sneak peek! 🐾 Meet Claude, my upcoming picture book inspired by my real-life studio mate, Brinkley. Brinkley’s main job is making sure I pay attention to him instead of my art. This book wouldn't exist without him! 🦴❤️

EXCITING NEWS! After a long journey, the story is finally written, and now it’s becoming a book! This picture book is a call to action for a generation growing up in an increasingly polarized world: to see beyond appearances, and to choose connection over judgment. Thank you, @kterrette! ❤️

Thanks, Heather!

Thank you so much! I can’t wait till I can share more.

My peace I give to you. Not the kind of fragile peace given by the world, but my perfect peace. Don't yield to fear or be troubled in your hearts—instead, be courageous! (John 14:27) Does anyone else see a dove? #Dove #DoveShapedCloud #GodsPeace #NoAi
