​Artist tip: Enjoy time with your family and take a break from drawing if possible. You need to recharge to create! 💖

Hope you’re all having a lovely holiday season! Merry Christmas! ✨🎄 #kidlit

Wishing you a season full of magic and jolly moments! 🎅✨ So happy with how this Santa turned out. There’s nothing like Christmas inspiration! What do you think? #kidlit #kidlitart

A year has passed in the blink of an eye, but not a day goes by without missing you. Always in my heart, little Cookie. 🍪🐾 Un año se fue en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Te extraño cada día, mi pequeña Cookie. 🤍

Please don’t use, reproduce, or feed my illustrations to AI models. Thank you for respecting my work! — it means a lot to me.💖 #kidlit #kidlit #Art

This year I illustrated my first board book, Manny Matches the Weather. 💖 I also experimented with new mediums like colored pencils and watercolor, which helped me reconnect with traditional art. It has been lovely and amazing! But digital art is still my fav.😊 #artvsartist2025 #kidlit #kidlitart

Well, It's that time of year to switch things up! I'm making a few changes to my website and creating new pieces for my portfolio. I realized I have almost nothing related to winter, and that definitely needs to change! ❄️ Stay tuned for cozy, snowy characters soon! ☃️ #kidlitart #kidlit

Wow! In a blink, winter will be here so soon! ❄️ I started this as a simple sketch for a future illustration, but little Sasha had other plans and insisted on being drawn in full color! ✨️ #kidlit #kidlitart #TraditionalArt

What a day! Edna's day was far from perfect. Her broom decided to quit, and her mischievous crows caused some trouble on their way home. 😅 The best part about illustrating this spot? Definitely those cute little crows! They were so much fun to draw. 🖤 #kidlit #kidlitart

Mixing the best of both worlds! 🎨 This cozy kitty sketch started with a fun watercolor base and was finished digitally. Love the contrast between the traditional feel and the digital details! Cold weather is officially here! 🥶 #kidlitart #kidlit

Sunday of traditional art! It's not perfect, but it was fun to make something different from my comfort zone. The initial fear? Wasting materials and, of course, a blank page.😅 But once I started, I realized, "Why the stress?" You just tackle it one hen at time — I mean, one step at a time. #kidlit
