BEYOND excited to share that I was selected to be a 2026 PB Rising Stars Mentee. I can’t wait to work with the amazing Kathryn Rammell for the summer! Congrats to all the other mentees, runners up, and honorable mentions. Congrats to ANYONE who applied. Your art is WORTH IT. #pbrisingstars

It’s #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I’m Rachelle (ra-SHELL), an author and illustrator who loves creating stories full of heart and humor. I’m currently seeking representation and would love to work on picture books and board books.

There are certain things I’ve always been afraid to draw…cars, bikes, most animals, and Jesus. I had made them out to be these big hard things that I could never conquer. I’m starting to conquer them one at a time. Not perfectly. But I’m no longer afraid and that’s a huge win.

Yay! It’s another #KidLitArtPostcard Day! I’m Rachelle, an author and illustrator who loves bright art and joyful stories celebrating childhood wonder. I’m seeking representation and am open to picture book and other illustration projects!

March #kidlitartpostcard day was just begging for a frog illo, so i drew a rather stressed out bell “hop”. 🐸 😁 I hope your day is going better than his! Open to PB and MG projects. Portfolio kirstenmcgonigal.com rep’d by: @beccalangton.bsky.social of @da-childrens.bsky.social #kidlitart #kidlit

An experiment I did last weekend. The butterflies were inspired by Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
