Lagom (sounds like La-Gum) is the Swedish art of living with just the right balance – not too much and not too little. Similar to Hygge, Lagom celebrates finding enjoyment in simple things, like a good cup of coffee, a warm fire, collections from nature or reading a good book with a snuggly pet at your side. Obviously, I feel inspiration from all of these things because they are similar to my previous book, "Time to Hygge" but I love the twist that Lagom brings as well. It's not as much about being cozy and more of an overall aesthetic of how to live life in moderation and care for others. The ..read more

I'm happy to announce my newest map coloring book – The Europe Coloring Book! I've been working up to this one since completing the trifecta of North America (USA, Canada and Mexico Coloring Books). In younger years, I traveled a bit in Europe but it has been a minute (ha!) since my last trip. Portugal is the country I know best because my husband and I had the good fortune to live there for almost a year when he was doing research for a dissertation. It was a lovely time and the country and people, not to mention the food, hold a special place in my heart. We spent some time in Spain, Italy ..read more

I have wanted to create a series of books that are intentional about the mental health benefits of coloring for some time. is my first in what I hope will be an on-going series. My thought was to create artwork that could be colored fairly quickly - ideally in 10 minutes - along a theme. The phrase, "A 10-Minute Mental Health Moment" perfectly represents the intent of these short coloring sessions. I like it when we use the words "Mental Health" in an overt way rather than "mindfulness" or "well-being" because these are just euphemisms for what we are actually talking about. I think it's impor ..read more

I am happy to announce my newest coloring book, This book is 30 pages of well-dressed animals posing for you to color (ha, ha!). It's a pretty funny and cute one, if I don't say so myself. This book is a re-adaptation of an early book ( I Love Animals in Clothes - de-published ) that I loved but was in need of some cleaning up. I love the simplicity of the new artwork and how fun the colored pages look. Translating this book into the format of my "10-Minute Mental Health Moment" books was a great use of this idea and artwork  because it's hard to not be amused when coloring a bear in ..read more

Time to revisit (ha ha) the National Parks! I did a national parks coloring book in early 2019 that has done quite well. It features the 24 most visited parks of the USA. I love this book but I've always wanted to come back and add onto it. This new book is similar in some ways but a departure from that original style. Let's Go! All the National Parks Adventure Coloring Book is has map-based illustrations featuring plants, animals and sites that you would see at each 63 parks. Yes...this book has ALL 63 parks! There are actually 61 individual park pages and two pages that have two parks per pa ..read more

Can you believe it's almost spooky season? As much as I hate to leave summertime behind, I do love fall and all the lovely colors and activities that come with it. The magic of costumes is one of the best parts of this time. And of course, CATS!  The artwork in this book may look somewhat familiar to some of you lovely colorists. I published a book several years ago called "Cosplay Cats". I loved this book as it was just well...quirky but honestly, was a bit of a dud for sales. I de-published it last year and have now followed through to clean up the artwork to make it bolder and more kid ..read more

Hello coloring friends! I am happy to announce my newest book, The Plant Parent Wishlist Coloring Book is now available! This book is a companion to my original, , which was released in 2020. It has been very gratifying to share my love of plants and have it so well received (I believe that it spurned a whole new category of plant coloring books on the platform!). The first Plant Parent coloring book focuses on the most common plants that you can find and their care . Now that you've gotten your feet wet (or your thumb green, ha ha) you may be ready to try your hand at some of these more unusu ..read more
