I graduated with honors in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2006. I am a versatile artist dedicated to strong visual communication, be it through traditional illustration or print and web design work. Currently a full-time freelancer, my illustration work for the children's market includes picture books, book covers, classroom readers, magazines, museum murals, and children's painting kits. Using a combination of traditional drawing mediums and digital painting, my work is accustomed to the fast-paced illustration market and welcomes projects with a quick turnaround. When not illustrating, I enjoy other creative outlets including painting, writing, photography, web design, and layout design. My husband (fellow artist and designer Adam Hunter Peck) and I live happily in our book-filled home in Slatersville, RI with our two cats, Griffin & Miette. About Slumberland Studio Whether at my computer desk or drafting table, illustrating, painting, or designing, Slumberland Studio is where I go to live my dream; to create art with optimism, joy, and the magic in knowing that with enough imagination, anything is possible. The name Slumberland Studio is inspired by the 20th Century illustrator Winsor McCay and his brilliant 1900's comic strip "Little Nemo in Slumberland." I also have a family cat named Nemo for the strip's title character. |
