Hello #KidLitArtPostcard day followers. It’s February and I feel like we are all looking for something, even if it’s just a small treat.

Three years ago I took this photo, which lead to the illustration last year, which lead to me experimenting more with a new style which then lead me to new illustration work. Inspiration hides all around us the trick is to take the time to notice.

Seagulls love sunny summer days. They laugh and play. They stretch and soar. But when the sky darkens to a threatening gray, gulls hunker down preparing for the coming storm. All but one …. Hope, she has the courage stand strong and weather the storm, do you? #SEL #skypitch #authorillustrator
