Illustrations for Children's Spaces!
Some of the art work you see here are illustrations that appear in my first children's book, Ralphina,
the Roly-Poly. Others give you a sneak preview of my upcoming book, not yet titled. All creations are
done with oil-based pencils to achieve the rich detail and vivid colors .
Seven Pairs of Shoes

When the child in your life counts the number   
of shoes a roly-poly would need to wear,  
he/she will learn that roly-polies have fourteen  
legs! There are colors to learn and types of  
shoes, also! How fun to have a beautiful piece  
of art that is educational at the same time!
Rainbow Garden

As a former teacher of elementary age children ,  
one thing I would  teach my students is the  
acronym for the colors of the rainbow:  
R.O.Y.G.B.I.V. ~ Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue,  
Indigo,
Violet. What a wonderful way to learn this  
concept with these beautiful tulips! Notice that
the tulips are in the exact order of rainbow colors!

All images are professionally printed on high-quality Fuji
Crystal Archive paper, are vibrant in color, and sharp in
detail.

Prints will arrive unmatted and unframed - let your
creative juices flow as you match your own decor!

Just For You

Has your child ever taken great
care to find the perfect flower
for you or someone else
special in his/her life? By the
way -  yes, dandelions do fall
under the category of beautiful
flowers! When given with love!
Time to Relax

This, in the tiny world of an
insect, is the epitome of
hammocks! It's the ideal shady
spot for thinking and planning
and dreaming! We all need a
spot like this!
Room With a View

On the inside looking out! In the
garden looking out, that is!
Insect Inspection

Have YOU ever played with a
roly- poly? They are such
fun! How curious that they
roll up into a ball when they
are picked up!  
Arteeest!

Butterflies and rainbows
and flowers, all bursting
with brilliant color! No
matter what color the child
space, this will coordinate
with any decor in a child's
room!
Seahorses at Play

Life in the undersea coral reef
is a fun-filled place to frolic ~
especially for a seahorse! Join
these two as they play a little
hide-and-seek!
Marco! Polo!

I found you! It's my turn to hide!
one of a child's favorite games to
play with siblings, friends, rela-
tives, or even the dog! This is the
seahorse rendition of this
ever-enduring playtime game.
                                        
SHARK!!!!

SWIM for your life! This
intimidating creature strikes
fear in even the bravest soul!

I was commissioned to create
this for a young man's
thirteenth birthday. It was a
surprise from his mom! They
love it!

Place this fearsome sea-
dweller above a bookcase or
aquarium for a dramatic
impact!    
   
Bob, the Lobster

You'll never find me!
Sir Henry, the Crab

  I want to play, too!
Consider pairing several illustrations together! Or, combine three or more to design a striking
grouping! Create a fantasy world for that special child's space to encourage the imagination!
Where will their dreams take them?
           Good Morning!

What a cheerful way to greet each new day!
Just look how delighted this critter is to see
you! Help your special little one begin every
morning with a smile and a positive attitude
when they see this most happy roly-poly!    
Let's Play!

Imagine how fun it would be to have these playful friends scattered all about   
the spaces in your child's play area! It's like a parade of roly-polies frolicing in  
the sun!
