artist Bio

Picture
I’m an illustrator living in New York, but originally from Baltimore and trying to get back. I’m fascinated by the worlds of grounded fantasy, magical realism, and anything MG. I paint for US and international publishers such as HarperCollins, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Xiaoduo Media.
 
My big love is for the high stakes, high drama moments that evoke theater or dance and I try to incorporate these moments into my work whenever possible.
 
I’m currently illustrating and writing a MG novel that will take you from Baltimore to Venice to . . .
 
Notables:
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 often find me listening to audiobooks while I rescue pollinating insects from my workspace.
