#Kidlit friends, I am positive most of the time and usually post encouragement but as a creative, I am constantly chasing my dream. Children's publishing is extremely tough right now. There are still readers out there who need amazing books for children so let's do this!!!

This is the cleanest my art studio has been in a very, very long time which means I’m ready for a new start! Let’s go! #kidlit #kidlit art #childrensart #childrensbooks #blessed #artstudio

You can definitely “see” the wind today! 💨🍃 I am holding a copy of my most recent book that I both wrote and illustrated. Available on Amazon.

It's #PortfolioDay ! I am an author-illustrator represented by Adria Goetz at KT Literary and I love illustrating the heART of childhood.

Playing on my iPad this morning with my buddy watching me. It’s a chilly morning but I am dreaming of warmer weather.

Enjoying this perfect evening with our boy! Wishing all of you a very blessed Easter tomorrow!

🐘 Sunset after a rain in Africa. 🌈 My story is starting to come to life.

Wow! 11 years on Etsy and over 4000 sales since 2012! 888 five star ratings! I have so enjoyed creating art prints for people around the world and I pray I can continue for years to come.

For those who were asking... I just added a fine art print to my shop available here: etsy.com/listing/169820…

Wishing you all a lovely Saturday filled with joy! 💕

☁️ The grass is turning green and finding shapes in the clouds is still one of my favorite things. This one was so much fun to create! ☁️

Sometimes, it’s OK to feel sad. Embrace your feelings because it’s better to feel something than nothing at all.

I created this art originally in my sketchbook and then brought it into procreate on my iPad and had fun playing with lots of layers.

I turned 62 last week and I’m trying to embrace my age but sometimes it can be so difficult with social media. It’s hard to use no filter but I’m realizing it’s just so great to be healthy.

There are lots of ups and downs in life but that’s all part of the journey. It’s OK to have great times and it’s OK to have not so great times. Just try to enjoy the journey and know that if it weren’t for the rain, there will be no rainbows.
