Hi! I am a children's book/editorial Illustrator from Minnesota. I've worked with several self-published authors and have published my own book, Tide Day. I enjoy creating characters and moments that are memorable and engaging. Let's work together and create something wonderful!

From Sketch to Final Water Coloring Stages, this is a spread from Tide Day! A lot goes into making a good composition, taking into account the center of the image where the binding is, and how to play with size and negative space. One of my favorite things to do is explore contrasting expressions between characters and highlight their emotions through physical stances and expressions. This was a tough challenge with the lack of limbs and the watery context, but Pearl's stubbornness and attitude shines through!
