Hi there.

Erin is an illustrator and author based in Cincinnati, Ohio. She mainly specializes in watercolor, and her picture book Mr Pumpkin’s Tea Party was a Kids’ IndieNext List pick (available to order here).

As a former bookseller (and storytime lady!) at an independent children’s bookstore, she is passionate about storytelling in all forms, and loves helping kids get in touch with their own creative voice. Now she illustrates full time, and continues to pour her knowledge of children’s literature into her work.

She received her BA in Painting from Asbury University in 2011, and focuses on visual storytelling for kids while teaching creative workshops here and there (when she isn’t drawing, painting, or making up weird characters).

She is represented by Natascha Morris at the Tobias Literary Agency.
