I illustrated the book ONE HUNGRY DRAGON by Julie Wenzlick. I was tickled with the opportunity to illustrate a children’s book - something I’ve always wanted to accomplish. We worked together for a few years to get the book just right, and she published the book in 2017.
​
I created the artwork with watercolor paint, colored pencils and ink. I also used salt to create texture on some of the illustrations.

Starting to paint the backgrounds, making sure colors are cohesive.

More work on backgrounds - I had to do most of my painting in the middle of the night while my kids slept.

Painting the dragon and adding special touches. I love painting.
