I love a good love story, and I also love weddings, so I was quite pleased and excited to work on a couple of very special projects recently that helped one couple from two continents celebrate their happy day. It all started several months ago when I was contacted by groom-to-be James, asking if I could […]
Here’s a happy snail proclaiming his Summer Love, a new picture I drew to send out as a hello and as an Etsy print. Here where I live in the northeast of England, starting about now there are a plethora of adorable snails roaming the sidewalks as soon as the sun begins to set.
I just added this happy duo to my Etsy shop, they can be found here. This friendly pair is adapted from the growth chart I created a while back for my dear friend Mel. It featured various woodland creatures in an enchanted forest, and I thought the Bear and Bird here would stand nicely
Here are some colorful fluttering butterflies for the start of summer. I love the infinite variety of wing shapes, colors and patterns that can be found in butterflies, and I had a great time making up my own imaginary butterflies! Available as an Etsy print, too!

I’ve just completed this new print for sale on Etsy, featuring a frolicking elephant and one of my husband’s favorite sayings, “All Sunshine Makes a Desert.” It’s a traditional Arabic aphorism handed down to my husband by his mom, who has a wealth of interesting phrases and sayings from Lebanon, where she is from.
It’s time to share with you the third installment of Denise Swanson’s Devereaux’s Dime Store mystery novel covers: Dead Between the Lines! As always it was a pleasure to work on this book cover with AD Mimi Bark at Penguin Group. This time around the mystery involves gardening, so it was fun working all
I just finished this illustration inspired by our new town. It’s an interpretation of the view of higgledy-piggledy medieval buildings that you get as you cross the Old Elvet bridge, one of four bridges spanning the River Wear in the city center here in Durham. I love that one of the results of a
