VISITS
Over the years I have been invited by schools and other organizations to talk about what I do. Using slides, proofs, props, and original drawings and paintings, I discuss the myriad steps involved in illustrating children's books. Q&A is strongly encouraged. I have spoken anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours to audiences of all ages and sizes.

If you would like me to visit your school, organization, or bookstore, please contact me.
