Introduction: I am dedicated to my craft and meticulous in the polish of my illustrations. From start to finish, sketch to final art, my work is clean and professional. Generally, my stylization of human faces and animals are what first draw art directors to my images. There is a friendliness and warmth to my expressions which adds a sense of approachability to my work from young and old audiences alike. That in conjunction with my particular way of working with my media and use of bright color palettes makes me well suited for the children's industry. Working as a freelance children's illustrator allows for a great deal of creative freedom and independence. I have the ability to be selective about the projects I take on and thus generally spend my time working on stories that I genuinely find inspiring or worthwhile for young audiences. Being an artist is fun, and I wouldn't want any other career!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As a children's illustrator it is generally too arbitrary to price things by the hour. Instead I prefer to evaluate my prices based on the specs of each job individually. Once I know the scope of the project including number of illustrations, time frame, and the end use of the illustrations (whether for a published book or personal use) I can better provide a quote that will meet both my needs as a contractor as well as the budget of the client.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an an avid reader about all things children's publishing across many media platforms (physical books, magazines, and industry blogs) which keeps me in the loop with regard to industry trends. I'm also a member of SCBWI (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators) and stay connected to the field by attending annual society conferences.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've been drawing and painting since I was a child and found my interest for illustration while a student at the Rhode Island School of Design. Soon thereafter I combined my love of books and reading with my passion for illustration and my career as a children's illustrator began.
