"My philosophy as an illustrator is to dig deep into the author's story
for it's message or glue that drives a book on for 32 pages. Breaking
a manuscript down through the process of thumbnails, story boards
and dummies becomes alchemical".

"When I was a young girl my world vision was shaped in part by
looking at picture books. They aided my reading skills by visually identifying objects first before I knew how to read their names.
With that memory in mind, my approach to illustrating picture books is that the art must convey an author's story in a way that is clear and detailed. My goal is to broaden a child's vision and help them learn to read".
