I DRAW EVERY DAY.
I make art to capture the joy that I see in daily routines. More than a decade ago, I began a practice of drawing every night once my kids were asleep. Thousands of drawings later, my art has grown into children's books, fine art prints and partnerships with global retailers. I still draw every day. I publish a new drawing every Sunday.
