As a freelance illustrator, I am in the process of querying for my books. (If you have any questions about this, I will be more than happy to email about it.) I kinda worked backwards with my art. Fell in love with oil painting in college and enjoyed painting portraits. I found that faces themselves, a person’s eyes, even brushstrokes can tell a story in a portrait. Still-lifes can be brought to life and that silent books are a thing. It wasn’t until I was onto writing my third book did I decide to draw a cover of my own. I had so much fun. I LOVE BOOKS!! I just don’t get to read as often as I would like. But what if I can by designing covers for people who have dreams as big as mine.
My portfolio is small right now, mainly children’s books. As an illustrator I like to believe I can draw anything. On my journey I have found that stories are what I’m passionate about and they take many forms and can be for any age.
Check out the examples of designs I have below and if you feel inspired, fill out the form to start a conversation that could lead to an amazing creation.
I can’t wait to hear from you!
After the form is filled out, I will contact either via phone or email (whichever is preferred) and finalize the project details before sending out a contract and deposit invoice.
Sketches begin and are sent for initial revisions and approvals.
After sketches are approved everything starts coming to life with fine lines and color! Second round of revisions here.
The cover will be formatted using Adobe InDesign. Custom fonts are chosen and all the pieces fitted together.
Final files are sent once everything is approved and final payment is received.

What was just an idea is now a tangible reality!
