Illustrated children’s books with heart and color
I’ve had the joy of illustrating beautiful books for others over the years, and now I’m also bringing my own stories to life. Each book starts from scratch, with expressive characters and carefully crafted landscapes that celebrate the beauty of real places and the richness of growing up between cultures.
