I hope you enjoy these pictures--I had a great time making them. Some are made with gouache paint on paper, and some are made with digital pixels. All are made with enthusiasm.
I've illustrated over forty books, eight of which I also wrote. If you've ever wondered how to draw a quokka, you can find out in the book, Doodle A Zoodle .
Frogs are another favorite critter for me to draw. See one frog's story in this Critter Crackup for Ranger Rick magazine.
I like the alphabet! Here are some of my favorite letters.
Some of the publishers that I've worked with include Blue Apple Books, Ranger Rick magazine, Dutton Children's Books, Grosset & Dunlap, Handprint Books, Houghton Mifflin, Andrews McMeel, National Wildlife Federation, Scholastic/Children's Press, Sterling Publishing, and Workman Publishing.
In addition to books and magazines, I also create illustrations for promotions, packaging, greeting cards and advertising.
For children's illustration, I'm represented by Ronnie Ann Herman of the Herman Agency. She can be contacted at Ronnie@HermanAgencyInc.com.
