Summer is over and the leaves are beginning to fall, and now it's time for Little Bird to go to school for the first time. Come along with him and Anne Marie as they navigate through the first day of learning the alphabet, numbers, and taking on new adventures.

I'm excited to announce that this poetry book written by Loni Hoots, and illustrated by me is now available on Amazon!

Purple floral wedding invitations

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of working with one of my best friends to design her wedding invitations! She decided to use lavender and purple themes throughout her wedding celebration, so we wanted to incorporate that in the invitations and reply cards as well. I painted the floral illustrations in watercolor, and also included some hand-lettered accents. Photographs are by talented local photographer Britt, from BLK Photography.
