I work page by page, letting each scene breathe before moving to the next.

This picture book explores childhood, its quiet refuges, and the invisible bonds that hold us.
Ongoing children’s book project.

Fantasy art of a maroon and pink dragon standing nest to a woman in a purple robe and hat on the right. Swirly mist floats past them and swirls in front of a large arching window and a pedestal with a candle. Outside the window is a full moon rising over a castle behind a lake.
