Dear Reader,
I create tiny worlds that capture the magic and joy of childhood for my clients. These worlds are hand-painted and cut from paper, and allow the viewer to feel as if they are part of that moment in time. I illustrate subtle narratives and emotions in cut paper. The dimensional quality of the work is captured using photography which I provide to clients as a high-resolution digital file.
My experience as a graphic designer and staff illustrator allows me to solve visual problems quickly and accommodate clients' needs. My illustrations and designs have been used in magazines, newspapers, package designs, and children's books. My illustrations have been included in group exhibits with the Society of Illustrators LA, and the Society of Children's Books Writers & Illustrators (Georgia). I reside in Savannah, Georgia with my husband, son, and four guinea pigs.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my site!
Yours Truly,
Nancy
