I really enjoyed designing this adorable bear cub character and creating its natural habitat in the American Southwest.

EARTH DAY IS EVERYDAY!
Yesterday was Earth Day. 🌎 One of the most beautiful things is that we can celebrate Earth Day everyday! I love this quote from the amazing artist/author/illustrator @oliverjeffers which sums up how I feel. 'We only have one planet, and we need to be kind to it. I keep saying it, but it's obvious when you think about it: this is the only place where all the people live. I'm committed to celebrating earth on all the days of the year, not just one.'
Dream Project - Super Shy!
For our fall promo, The CAT Agency asked us to dream big! 'What is your dream project?' I immediately knew the answer - to make an author-illustrated picture book (maybe a series?!!) based on the manuscript I wrote, called 'Super Shy!' It's about a dog at Puppy Kindergarten, learning new skills and being a part of a group of other puppies who seem to know what they are doing. Throughout the story, the pup learns to embrace the fact that sometimes it’s okay to feel small. Trusting its inner power, the pup discovers that what seems like challenges are actually gifts - superpowers! Inspired by my dog, Maverick (who just turned 3! Happy Birthday Maverick!!! 🎂🐾) and the many, many training classes we had together, and for the shy, quiet, little me.
