I had a dream come true last month! I had a book signing for my very first illustrated picture book–The Spill! I have to say thanks to Author Jacqueline Leigh for choosing me over all the other illustrators who also test painted for this book. It was an honor to get to be the one to bring Faye to life!

My signing was at This House of Books, in downtown Billings, which is a cool little Indie bookstore I am a co-op member/owner of. It was a great location to host the signing, as it is also a tea shop, so everyone got to enjoy some of their amazing iced tea blends!

I had a great turnout and I am so grateful for everyone’s support of this adorable book. I am still pinching myself over the fact that it is officially releasing tomorrow!

I have to say a very special thank you to my parents, who have always fostered my love of art (and bought me endless art supplies while I was in school!) I wouldn’t be illustrating anything today if I hadn’t had them encouraging me every step of the way!
