Through writing and illustration I hope to express the sense of wonder, humor and compassion I feel in this strange and beautiful world.Picture books are one of the most exciting forms of narrative to me because of the way illustrations and words work together to create multiple layers and multiple stories within one book.
Publications to date include the picture books ABC Disgusting, winner of the 2015 Moonbeam Award for best illustrator; Even in My Monster Hat; and The Dinglebeast Needs to Sleep, chosen as a Inkspokes Select Book Award 2017. The People on the Bus is forthcoming in 2017. To purchase books, visit Woodland Way
I currently live in Pittsburgh with my husband, Chad, and our dog, Stella.
