Here is the 4th cover for the friendship series called "Picture Perfect" I've been illustrating for HarperCollins. Attached is also the sketch that was chosen for this. I ususally turn in about 3 to 4 different sketch options when I'm working on a book cover.

This series if full of lots of fun friendship drama.

One of my favorite clients is American Girl. I've illustrated many fiction pieces for the magazine over the past few years. I recently completed my third book for them which I am really excited about. So thrilled to work along side of some of my favorite illustrators! I love being a part of spreading some
good fun and values to young girls (along with some super cute artwork!).
Thank you A.G!
