I have some spot illustrations scattered throughout the current Discover Charlottetown Activity Guide. You can find it all around town or you can request one from the Discover Charlottetown website.

Charlottetown map!
This is the project that I have been so excited to share here… but couldn’t, until now!
I was asked by Discover Charlottetown to create an illustrated walking map of Charlottetown. It will be used for their activity guide, as a tear-away walking map and a larger version will also be displayed in 8 kiosks around town (pics to come soon!).
I was completely intimated by this project, and debated about taking it on. Then one day I had a light bulb moment. This is the kind of job I want to be doing, dream of doing! So I put my fears aside and dove in. I hope locals find it depicts Charlotetown well, and that it lures visitors to explore… but mostly I hope my love for this beautiful town shines through.
(Postcard versions of this map and my PEI map will be available for sale soon. I’ll keep you posted!)
winter hybernation
I’ve been super busy with an exciting project that I can’t wait to share here. I was hesitant to take it on at first. I worried I wouldn’t be able to do it the justice it deserved. After some soul searching I decided it was just too good an opportunity to pass up… and dove in.
It was an insane amount of work… but it made me realize something. You can’t find out how great you can be if you don’t give yourself the chance. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and I’m so happy with how it turned out. (Here’s a little sneak peek!)
Besides working like crazy I’ve been busy trying to cope with winter. It’s such a challenging time of year. The cold, the darkness… the never ending-ness!
Here are a few things that help us get through winter.
Lots of super cuddling.
Lots of awesome drawing.
Try and get outside as much as possible.
If you see a sunbeam, stop everything and soak it up.
Valentine’s Day Stickers!
This is was a dream job for me. I love hearts, they are my favourite. Designing 2 pages of heart stickers….. my new favourite!
You can find them in the current issue of American Girl magazine.

June Chirp!
I have an illustration in the June issue of Chirp magazine out now. I still am doing the monthly drawing page and loved the chance to do something extra. This one was super fun!
