The Artist and the Wren -
My first Illustrated Children’s Book!
A story that will capture your heart
Beautifully told and illustrated.
After more than two years in the making ….
“The Artist and the Wren” is finally here!
As the Illustrator of this precious story, I could not be more thrilled at how this children’s book has come together. Months of painstaking illustrating have paid off in a book that I believe will be a classic. With fifty six full page spreads of illustrations, I have learned a new appreciation for endurance to see a project all the way to the end. I believe that you and your loved ones will absolutely love this story and the imagery that brings it to life.
