Mindful Magazine: Issue 1

The premier issue of Mindful Magazine is out, and I'm so chuffed that I'll be a regular illustrator for the Mindful-Mindless section!

Green Parent Magazine

The second "family portrait" illustration for Green Parent Magazine is out!  This one will be accompanying the Earth Mother column, written by Claire Ashbourne.  It was great working again with the Art Director, Jez Harris on this.

Interval House Impact Report

Back in December, I worked with the amazing people at Agents of Good (John Lepp and Jen Love) to illustrate an infograph for Interval House woman's shelter.  John and Jen are so wonderful to work with and I think it's their caring, positive energy that make the work produced really great!  I have to say I'm very happy with how this impact report came out.  I love that it's a nice blend of storytelling and numbered facts.

Today's Parent: Debate Illustration

This is my latest Today's Parent illustration for the January debate.  This debate was on whether or not you let your toddler watch tv.  You can read both sides here.

I'm always thrilled to work with the art directors over at Today's Parent Magazine on these commissions!

Winter Holidays

So I'm celebrating my winter holiday back in the West Kootenay's with my family.  I've been cross country skiing and merry making, and I intend to do plenty more over the next week!

It's been a busy year for me filled with drawing, illustrating, framing, reading, writing, teaching and generally working hard.  I'm thrilled with what I've accomplished over the year and excited for what's coming next.  But it's so important for me to fit in as many outdoor expeditions as I can manage around the edges.

I hope you all are enjoying your own picturesque Christmas!

Green Parent Illustration

I had the pleasure to work art director, Jez Harris over at The Green Parent magazine.  This is the first of a pair of illustrations.  This one is is for the Modern Dad column.  The illustration is of the dad who writes the column, with his three cute little kids.

Milwaukee Magazine Illustration

A few months back I was asked to make an illustration for Milwaukee Magazine.  It was for a wonderful essay written by Carolyn Bucior.  It's about how rewarding hobbies can be.  This is definitely something I can relate to.

My own preferred hobbies include hiking, walking in the woods and knitting.  These activities sure do give me oodles of pleasure!  You can read the article online here.

Thanks so much to Anne Baesemann for being such a wonderful art director to work with on this!

Today's Parent : Debate Illustration

I had the pleasure of illustrating the November Debate column in Today's Parent Magazine.  This debate was about if you, as a parent, would choose to find out if your baby was going to be a girl or a boy.  You can read the debate here.

Thanks to the wonderful Nicole Chung, who was the art director I worked with for this illustration.
