On my way to #scbwiny26 SCBWI Winter Conference in NYC! Looking to forward to meeting up with friends and meeting new authors and illustrators! If you see me, say HI! I am friendly!… #scbwieasternny #scbwiillustrators

Happy first #kidlitartpostcard day of 2026! I’m a NY illustrator who enjoys drawing kids and animals in nature being silly or having a sentimental moment for PB, MG #kidlitart illustration and covers! My portfolio www.melissakennyillustrator.com See you next week at the 2026 NYC SCBWI Conference!

Our home is filled with the Christmas spirit. Even Clifford is getting into the holiday spirit! #kidlitart #kidlitartist #picturebook #illustrator #SCBWI

The fabulous and oh so talented @janet_cooke_art and I have some of our artwork on display at @bare_blends (15 Clifton Country Rd., Ste. 8, Clifton Park, NY). Stop by, check out our framed prints and have a protein shake (may I recommend the Cocoa Chanel. So yummy!) or a smoothie bowl.

The big day is here! MAOR’S CHRISTMAS TALE is available to purchase on Amazon! I am delighted with the final outcome of this project and collaborating with Mark A. Clarke and Cindy Casey Editing. #scbwiillustrators #scbwieasternny #scbwi #kidlit #kidlitillustrator

I have been quiet with new work on the social media scene, but there is good reason for this. I have been illustrating a children’s book, Maor’s Christmas Tale written by Mark A. Clarke, and today is book cover reveal day! The book will be available this fall. #kidlit #illustrator #SCBWI

Just a few examples of my work. Check out my website or IG for more to see! Melissakennyillustrator.com instagram.com/melissa_kenny_illustrator
