MIDDLE-GRADE and Young Adult
Illustration for Middle-Grade Books
I recently illustrated the first three books in the Adventures of Jack middle-grade adventure series, written by Author Bryan Givens. I love creating detailed illustrations with an idealized realism style. I am a fan of historical fiction, non-fiction, and folklore books. My style is perfectly suited for non-fiction subjects, historical fiction, middle-grade and YA books.
