Illustrator Mama

I'm happy to share an article I recently wrote for the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators-Los Angeles's newsletter, KiteTales. The article, titled Illustrator Mamas & Papas: A Survival Guide, features my top five, most important tips for balancing life as a working illustrator with parenthood.

Look for it on pages 27-28. Hope ya'll enjoy it!
