Their work encompasses intricate drawings of flora and fauna, playful watercolors of anthropomorphic critters, illustrated typography, and everything in between.

Selected, Powell's list of Best Books, 2014"The text is .... simple and effective in conveying the gist of each adventure and matches well with its complementary illustration .... If it wasn’t a blasphemous thing to do to a book, I would cut
Adventures with Barefoot Critters apart and frame its pages as each page is lovely to gaze at all on its own." -
CM Magazine“Ample use of white space sets off the charming watercolour-and-gouache illustrations in muted colors. The many details on each page render a delightful glimpse into the animals’ cozy lives. Children will have fun discovering each creature’s personality .... Every decorated initial alphabet letter is surrounded by a different floral motif to replicate a medieval Book of Hours for little ones.” -
