My time working with Mark Hoffmann last summer was pivotal in moving my portfolio forward. For any kid-lit friends looking for a mentor, consider this my hearty recommendation to get in touch with Mark!

There’s some cosmic forces involved when #kidlitartpostcard day coincides with an art call from Brian LaRossa! My wonky characters & shapes (affectionately referred to as ugly vegetables by my mentor) won’t do the trick this time but I can think of many kidlit friends who should answer this call.

Beyond thrilled to be included in this amazing group of storytelling creators!
