Why did you choose to submit this art?
I submitted “The Sunset” because it was one of the most expansive pieces from my book. The colors of the sky are very vibrant, which I thought would work well in the gallery space.
What does being part of SCBWI mean to you?
It means a lot! I joined SCBWI because I had written and illustrated my
first children’s book and wanted to learn about next steps for getting
it published. I received my first newsletter, discovered information
about relevant publishers, and within a month got my first book
published! I’m so happy I joined this community.
What is your favorite picture book from childhood?
The Story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson.
