I'm a freelance children's book illustrator. I illustrate for children's picture books, readers, textbooks, websites, posters, big books, and magazines. I teach illustration, painting, and picture book classes at my local University. I'm a recent author and I love children's literature. I have 3 kids and a wife and want to help the world one book at a time.
