Interested in creating a children's picture book? Do your story's setting, characters and plot work? How do words and images work together in a picture book? How do you create a"dummy" of my book? Is the perspective exciting and varied enough? How can you market and promote it? What else can you do with my cocept?

Come to my studio. I can help you with narrative structure. Learn differnt techniques to illustrate your book. I will work with you on your manuscript, illustrations or multimedia concepts. We can develop important portfolio pieces. One-on-one consultations and small group classes.
