artist Bio
Originally from Baltimore, I’m currently living in Port Jefferson, NY. I love the worlds of grounded fantasy, magical realism, and nearly anything MG. I illustrate for US and international publishers such as HarperCollins, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Xiaoduo Media.
My big love is in high stakes moments suggestive of high-drama and I’ll squeeze these into a composition whenever possible.
I’m currently illustrating and writing CANTICLES, a MG novel that will take you from Baltimore to Venice to . . .
Notables:
2023 Illustration West 61
2020 Gold Medal Winner, Clavis Publishing Key Colors Competition 2020 & 2018 shortlisted for regional IBBY Award
2017 recipient of the SCBWI Martha Weston Grant
You can find me painting to audiobooks while I rescue pollinating insects from my workspace.
