About

This is my portfolio of Children's illustration, Christian Design and flower watercolor examples illustrating children's books and other illustrations using watercolor, pencil and black ink . I've illustrated several lovely books for authors who have chosen to publish on their own. They had stories that were worth sharing or in some way would make an impact on someone's life. I seek also to do that. Growing up myself I remember certain books that made an impact on my life, and I want to now help make them.
