Illustrating Mary’s stories

This collection of stories, featuring little Mary and her family, tackle concepts that could be hard to grasp, such as letting your light shine, or what does it mean to share Jesus’ yoke? Bright, simple drawings help make them easy to understand.

Illustrating Maggie the Cat

Wilhelmina on red

Welcome to the Maggie the Cat book series, starring spunky little Wilhelmina and her animal friends, including Maggie the Cat. These stories take place largely on Grandpa Charlie’s apple farm and focus on love and family. They will leave you longing for the simple things, like spending time in the tree swing, the smell of apple bread baking, and leaf piles.

It was a joy to work with author Julia Russo to bring to life her adorable characters. We worked together remotely through the whole process, from approving initial pencil sketches, to choosing colors for the final illustrations.

Illustrating Ray-Ray

 

A Horse Named Ray-Ray is a collection of stories about the special bond between girls and horses and the challenges of competitive trail riding. Imagine keeping your horse calm as you’re handed an open umbrella, riding through bouncing balloons, or over a flapping tarp!

The goal of these illustrations was to express the trust, teamwork, joy and friendship, and to give a glimpse into the diversity of riders and horses from all over the world.

Proceeds from this book go toward recovery costs of the author’s sister Jenn, an avid horse rider who suffered a brain aneurysm as an adult. It was her brother Reed’s creation and repetition of these stories that helped to restore her memory! Available from Amazon.
