Oh, Hello!
My name is Sam and I'm an illustrator, 1st grade teaching assistant, and mother of three wonderful kids and several "well-nourished" cats. My work includes children's book illustrations, theatre posters, and whimsical landscapes.
Since graduating from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2003, I have illustrated fourteen books and completed numerous fine art commissions. I've also authored two collections of silly stories for children, Star-Bright Afterschool and Back to Star-Bright.
The Ostrich Needs a Lift by children's author and special educator Celia Botto is my most recent project and now available to pre-order. It's a tale of adventure that follows a brave boy and one silly, avian hitchhiker.
When I'm not standing confidently in a meadow at dusk wearing my Sunday best, I can be found re-watching episodes of Seinfeld, enjoying stand-up comedy, and avoiding opportunities to go camping.
Thank you so much for visiting my site!
