Meet the Illustrators
The Creative Team Behind the Stories
A great picture book takes more than just words on a page. It takes art that catches a child’s eye, sparks their curiosity, and brings the story to life.
I am lucky to collaborate with a group of talented artists who turn these stories into visual worlds kids love to explore. Each illustrator brings their own style, creativity, and heart to our book projects.
Kaylee Norman is an emerging voice in the contemporary fine arts landscape, currently pursuing her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Rio Grande. Her work is characterized by a disciplined exploration of medium and form, a journey that began in the heart of Ohio.
Kaylee’s portfolio has already garnered regional recognition, with her work featured in curated exhibitions such as the Altered Book Exhibit and the prestigious 41st Annual Foothills Art Festival.

Maggie’s artistic journey is defined by a refusal to be pinned down to a single technique. She has cultivated a practice that explores a wide range of mediums, moving fluidly between traditional materials, mixed media, and digital techniques.
This experimental approach is a deliberate choice, as she views the diversity of her work as the foundation for her future career. With an eye toward becoming a professional tattoo artist, Maggie embraces the versatility required by the craft. Her portfolio reflects this flexibility, showcasing a stylistic range that shifts from simple, charming designs to dark, intricate detail.
By treating every new material as an opportunity to learn, she is actively preparing for the diverse requests of the tattoo industry. Maggie finds fulfillment in this multi-faceted path, viewing each stylistic shift as a celebration of her love for creativity and a step toward the professional opportunities ahead.
