Watercolor Book Illustration

Reading sets us free. No matter where we are, words have the power to leap from the page and into the imagination. For illustrated books, that power is magnified. The characters, settings, and themes of a book emerge in all their wonderful emotion and meaning, inviting us to smile, wonder, and feel.
