Children's Book Illustrator | Watercolor & Digital Illustration

About Me Children's book illustrator with 15+ years of professional experience, 40+ published books, and award-winning watercolor work.. I create illustrations for publishers, independent authors, museums, and educational projects, working in both traditional and digital media. What I Offer • Children's book illustration • Character design and visual development • Traditional watercolor illustration • Digital illustration • Educational and museum projects • Cover design and interior illustrations ▪ Book layout and print-ready file preparation I work closely with authors, editors, and art directors to create memorable characters, engaging scenes, and illustrations that support the story while remaining age-appropriate and visually appealing. I also have extensive experience in book layout and prepress preparation, ensuring that files meet professional printing requirements, including trim, bleed, margins, CMYK color setup, and print-ready PDF delivery. This allows me to support projects from initial sketches through final production.
