My most recent project, illustrations for the book What I Believe, was published in October by Beyond Words. It was written by Jennifer Murphy-Morrical and is about a mother sharing with her children what she believes is real and true in life. Click here to order this book signed by the artist.

Another of my books, Sarah the Best Bridesmaid: A Paper Doll Storybook, will be published by Dover Publications.  The story takes place in the South around 1850.  Sarah Clayton is 8 years old and preparing to be a bridesmaid in her sister's wedding.  Each page features a vignette of Sarah and her adventures.  Included in the book is a paper doll of Sarah along with six plates of costumes and accessories.
