Jamie is an illustrator and crafter from Manila. She is inspired by childhood, nature, colors, and textures. She loves to tell stories and is passionate about picture books. She works with a range of different media — from watercolors, colored pencils, and digital illustrations to ceramics. She is a proud member of Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan (Ang INK), the Philippines' first and only organization for artists committed to the creation and promotion of illustration for children.

These illustrations are from my upcoming book project, What Lolo Wants, written by Christina Oxtra and to be published in October by Kids Can Press.
Materials used: watercolors, colored pencils, acrylic, crayons, and digital media.
