I finished my sketchbook project!! You may remember me telling you in my January blog post that my friend gave me a special sketchbook destined for the Brooklyn Art Library. Well, it’s taken me a few months but I finished it! I feel really good about filling this sketchbook with illustrations all about simple joys!
Before I send it off, I wanted to share it with you through a short, little video. I took this video myself in my art studio in Portland, Oregon so it’s nothing fancy (anyone else have mommy maker hands with crazy dry skin from frequent washing during this pandemic?!) but I’m a big believer in celebrating even the smallest accomplishments. ;0) So…. hooray!
I’m keeping this month’s blog post short but I hope you’ve all been okay during these difficult times. My hope is that you not only stay healthy but also find some joy in your daily lives while sheltering in place and that my “simple joys” illustrations bring a smile to your face.
I’d love to hear from you in the comments which one of the illustrations is your favorite. Which one speaks the most to you? Thank you for taking a peek and visiting me in this space!

Your line work is amazing. I would assume that you've illustrated children's books. All of your artwork in the sketchbook is happy and sweet. My favorite was the flowers with the little bee swirling above but the one that brought a smile to my face was the bunny slippers on the feet. I came to the site looking at bird feeders and am leaving the site with a smile on my face. Thank you fellow Portlander!

Well, you brought a smile to my face with your kind comment! Thank you so much!! While I've taken a children's book illustration course before and illustrated for children, I've never illustrated any children's books. I'd love to some day!! :0) If you're still looking for bird feeders, I have only a couple left in my etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PresentsofLoveShop Thank you again for the nice words and saying hello!
