Getting the wall built and prepping here in Bedford Gallery at my Alma Mater, Longwood University for this year’s “LIVE” mural at the Virginia Children’s Book Festival 2017! I will be painting over all three days of the festival with the kids and folks of all ages combining my visuals with the imagery of Peter Brown. Peter is an author and illustrator of children’s books. His titles include New York Times bestsellers like The Curious Garden, Children Make Terrible Pets, and Mr. Tiger Goes Wild. Peter’s illustrations for Creepy Carrots!, written by Aaron Reynolds, earned him a Caldecott Honor.

The Virginia Children’s Book Festival is a three-day event October 19-21, 2017 that brings together authors and illustrators with exciting, dynamic programs to foster the enjoyment of reading among Virginia’s youth. Please join us October 19-21st!
