Bio:

I make children’s book illustrations that capture snapshots in time, and reflect the whimsical stories I like to tell. My goal is to create work that speaks to “weird” or “nerdy” kids; often neurodivergent children. I also enjoy expressing Jewish themes and identity in my work, to help children embrace and immerse themselves in Jewish life, tradition, and culture.
Anything which lives at the fascinating intersection between art and language is exciting to me; this has lead me to create book covers, commercial illustrations, posters and more. My art is vibrant, youthful, and often unapologetically feminine. I work in both traditional and digital mediums, occasionally combining the two to get the most exciting color and charm out of my pieces. Exploration and experimentation are crucial to my current process as I grow into my style--I’m excited to see what I get to do next!
