BOOKS
From the early days working on the Lulu Bell series to my more recent books, I have been incredibly blessed to work with some wonderful authors and visionaries, helping bring stories to life through a different range of illustrative mediums.
I have enjoyed working on a variety of chapter books, picture books and illustration projects over the last 20 years, and continue to be excited about working on different creative opportunities that come my way.
