Traditional Media Artwork

Drawings and paintings made with watercolor, acrylic paint, graphite, colored pencils, charcoal & chalk, sewing thread and dental floss stitches on paper and canvas, and other mixed media.

 


Hand-Bound Sketchbooks and Journals

One-of-a-kind and custom-made books with hand-selected papers for pages and stitched together by hand, usually with a coptic bind stitching. I also know how to make paper by hand from various materials. My one-of-a-kind hand-crafted sketchbooks have sold before at "The Bay Street Art Gallery" in Port Orchard, WA.

 


Children's Books I've Illustrated

I co-illustrated The Little Garden with Ashton Davidson and A Hole in My Stocking with Melanie Lin. According to both Rhonda Johnson, the author of both and also the founder of "Beyond the Stars Books" publishing company, and Jeremy Grassman, an experienced art director involved, I was the best illustrator of the three. (Most talented, best work ethic, cared the most about the artwork, objectives, and books, and also had the best attitude to work with.) Rhonda Johnson said if she writes another book, she would want me to be the sole illustrator for it.
