Sometimes half the fun is the proces. And Halloween is the perfect excuse to dress-up… 2, 3, 4, even 5 times!

Happy Halloween Eve & a Sneaky Peek
A glimpse of something that may be Halloween related, hope you are all smiles, like this toothy pumpkin, enjoying the fun of dressing up and acting a bit silly! Happy Halloween!!
The Boxcar Children: Glimpse Inside #1
The first of several interior glances I'll be sharing into The Boxcar Children's 75th Anniversary Fully Illustrated Edition!! (This is the silhouette to chapter one.)
Coming out November 1st to a bookstore near you!
They're Here!!
They're here!!! These arrived at my doorstep this past week and oh the joy and sheer thrill of finally being able to hold this first book I have illustrated. It was all so surreal and a dream come true, to be honest. So over-the-moon to have illustrated over 30+ illustrations for the interior of The Boxcar Children's 75th Anniversary Fully Illustrated Edition. Be prepared for lots more little sneaks and peeks, snippets and bits the next few weeks!!
Feeling ever so thankful this month, and how fitting with Thanksgiving just around the corner. I have the best job in all the world, and don't I know it.
Happy October, as if I needed another excuse to adore this calendar month, my favorite season just got a little bit more favorite-er!
Be Cool Stay in School
Be Cool Stay in School 14"x16"
Something I created for my agency's promotional theme of "Take Your Pet to School". If we all only had a giant, helpful rabbit who helped us with the heavy lifting so we could have a free hand for yo-yo-ing! This kid is super cool, and he knows it!
(p.s. His glasses are my favorite part about his outfit, hands down.)
A Parliament Owl
A Parliament Owl 5"x7" watercolor & ink on paper
When a group of owls are gathered they are called a Parliament. Here's a barn owl who is a practicing student of law, in all of his powdered wig goodness.
Wildflowers & Bunnies
A sweetheart of a bunny is enjoying her fragrant clover. She'll probably nibble on it in a minute or two, but for now she's taking time to stop and smell the posies.
Inktober: Day 5
Inking tiny mushroom homes and white cabbage moths. A secret woodland retreat. Find myself wishing I saw more real estate listings that resembled this.
Inktober: Day 3
Happy October my lovelies!
Many apologizes for the silence I have been exhibiting the past month, but there have been a great many things that I have been working on that must remain under wraps. Secrets can be fun, and other times I wish I could let the cat out of the bag!
Anywho, I am getting a late start on Inktober, but am participating none the less! Here is a corner of a bird and floral piece I have been drawing this afternoon. More inking to come in this lovely, beautiful, dreamy brisk month. My favorite of all the calendar year... October!
Here's to the wind, the apples, the leaves, the cinnamon, and pumpkins, each one chock full of magic and full of childhood delights I shall never outgrow!
Summer Dreaming of Autumn
It's no secret that autumn is my favorite time of the year. So even though sweltering summer is upon us, my thoughts are on October...
