I'm a children's book writer and illustrator living in Olympia, Washington. When I'm not drawing, I like to drink coffee on the porch, read picture books, and pick blueberries with my husband and two daughters.
A good friend described my work as "soft, playful, and secretly meticulous." When I approach an image, I usually begin with a clean line. From there, I love to spend time applying washes of color.
When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time by myself. The trees in my yard were my friends. I try to reflect that sense of wonder in my images, to inspire readers to connect with the world around them.
I've been a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators since 2012. In 2017, one of my illustrations will be included in DRAWN to COLOR the Pacific Northwest, a coloring book to be published by the Little Bigfoot imprint of Sasquatch Books.
