Hi, I’m Erika!

I am blessed to live, write, and create in beautiful Big Sky country, Montana.

I am a proud member of SCBWI, and I was honored to serve as the Regional Illustrator Coordinator for our Montana Chapter from 2018 – 2021.

I have illustrated some fun children’s books! My first book, THE SPILL, (written by Jacqueline Leigh) came out in 2018. My second project was another of Jacqueline Leigh’s adorable picture books–SKEDADDLE–which was released in the fall of 2020.  I recently finished my third illustrated picture book, MONTANA’S MEMORY DAY, for Montana author Sue Lawrence! We are thrilled to have earned a Starred Review from Kirkus for MONTANA’S MEMORY DAY, which you can read here!

I am also a printmaker, working primarily with lino block relief prints and letterpress, and I sell stationery, greeting cards and prints in my old-timey print shop, The Windy Mill Press.

Wondering why so many Windmills? Here’s why!

I always welcome new projects and collaborations, and I can’t wait to share more about future book projects! Please drop me a line at my Contact page if you have any comments or special requests. Thanks for stopping by!

Keep on turning. . .
