Hello! I'm Michelle and I'm an illustrator specializing in cut-paper collage and colored pencil. I have two books coming out in 2027 and 2028, one with Enchanted Lion and another with Familius. I'd love to be considered for your illustration project and have several dummies, too! #kidlitartpostcard
