Book Illustration
I use both traditional and digital media in my art; my styles vary to suit the project.
WRITTEN BY PATRICK O'HEARN-
Our Lady of Sorrows
Devotion to Mary's Seven Sorrows for Children
Console the Sorrowful Heart of Mary with seven beautiful meditations by author Patrick O'Hearn. Full of scripture, prayers, and delicately detailed illustrations, this book will bring you closer to the Hearts of Mary and Jesus! It also contains four original daily prayers written by Fr. Chad Ripperger.
MY LATEST BOOK-
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus
An Introductory Latin Missal for Children
Rediscover the truth, goodness and beauty of the Mass of the Ages. This richly-illustrated introduction to the Latin Mass provides samplings of Latin text with English translations. It also depicts beyond what we see with our eyes, showing heaven and earth meeting at each Mass. The beauty of the language, the reverent movements, and Jesus’s offering to the Father are all depicted lovingly within these pages. Even if you don’t attend the Latin Mass, knowing our heritage benefits you and yours. It’s really a wonderful introduction for all ages.

The Women Doctors of the Church
Meet the four Women Doctors of the Catholic Church in this lovely introduction by author Colleen Pressprich. I had a wonderful time watercoloring the illustrations of these four amazing saints, surrounded by symbolic flowers (lilies for purity, anemones for Christ's passion, Roses for love....). It is a beautiful book for older children!

OSV Kids Stations of the Cross
This little Stations of the Cross book began as a project for OSV Kids Magazine (center-spread, February 2021 Issue), and blossomed into a perfect little Stations book for little ones, thanks to author Colleen Pressprich! It is a wonderful introduction to this traditional devotion.
TRADTIONAL CATHOLIC PRAYERS- VARIOUS AUTHORS
The Catholic Treasury
of Prayers & Verses
I was blessed to illustrate every page of this 56-page prayer book. It is filled with the classic Catholic prayers you'd expect (How to pray the Rosary, the St. Michael's Prayer, the Apostle's Creed...), along with some treasures that may be new to you and your children. Plus there are lovely selections from scripture inside! It makes a beautiful Baptism gift.
MY FIRST COLORING BOOK!
Light of Heaven
Saints Coloring Book
If you love the saints and love to color, you will enjoy the Light of Heaven Saints Coloring Book! It could be your kids coloring or even you- whoever is holding the pencils or crayons will appreciate the bold lines, nice paper, and 23 smiling saint faces found in this book. Makes a great gift.
THE BOOK THAT STARTED IT ALL...
Light of Heaven
A Children's Book of Saints
Here's a beautiful way to teach children about our heavenly friends and helpers, the saints. 21 Bright and colorful saint images will delight their eyes, along with short, inspiring glimpses into their holy lives. Each image has a Latin word that corresponds to an aspect of the saint’s personality, with the word translated on the opposite page — it's a little Latin lesson as well!
More books to come- I have books recently finished, currently in progress and future ones planned! I’m blessed to have a very full art schedule, drawing and painting for Our Lord Jesus, Our Lady, and His Saints.
Deo Gratias!
