Before I was a professional illustrator, I was a kid who loved getting lost in books. I grew up on a farm in Vermont, surrounded by animals and plenty of space to explore nature. That early connection to the natural world still shapes how I approach storytelling, whether I’m painting a mural or illustrating a picture book.

As an illustrator, I’m drawn to projects celebrating wonder and connection to the outdoors. I love collaborating to bring stories to life, and I think a lot about how viewers will experience the artwork, how it might make them feel seen, curious, or just happy to linger on a page. My goal is to make art that invites people in and reflects the beauty and joy of the world around us.
