This piece is from “The Purple Dancing Triceratops.” Written by Kimmie Gotch, Illustrated by Amber Hawks Schaberg, and used with permission.

This story focussed around a group of dancing girl dinosaurs. I had to create a natural world for dinos, but the characters had to be pastel and bright for a feminine flavor. I had to find the right “natural” colors for their environment that flowed with the character palette.

"A Home for Spike" was written by Heather Vogel Frederick, illustrated by Amber Hawks Schaberg, and published by Longyear Museum Press. I like this piece because I enjoy drawing hands.

This book won Honorable Mention in the New England Museum Association’s 2024 Publication Award Competition.
