Dearest gentle reader, the wait is on and in the act of passing time, I find an illustration most enjoyable. Who else is ready for another love story fix? #bridgerton @infobridgerton.bsky.social

Stevie. My character exploration with mood and colour. #YA #romance #illustratednovel

Botanical base layers YA romance coated in nature. Wild flowers entwine character and mood, and one of the best parts of the process is capturing these elements in charcoal. @aceagrams #dypc #youngadultfiction #illustratednovel #graphicnovel #crossover

Here’s a wintery illustration from one of my #wip picture book stories featuring a reindeer, a little robin and a tiny mouse. It’s a story that has heart and other than feeling the winter’s chill (brrrrr) I hope this brings a little festive sparkle. #picturebooks #childrensbooks #illustrators

True luxury is found in the simplest moments.
