While living in Peru I illustrated for children’s books and over time, I had a deep desire to create a book of my own.

Over the last year I have been collaborating with my close friend, Daniel Templeton, in the hopes that we might create a children’s picture book. We’ve fallen in love with the characters and believe in the message they have to convey. Pietro & Sorrentina are borne of our imaginations and each of our efforts’ on this project motivates the other. As Pietro & Sorrentina are a kind of team, so are we!

Pietro & Sorrentina are watercolor creations. While time consuming, watercolors are a delicate and transparent medium providing a fresh and vivid way of illustrating the classic children’s book. Watercolors’ warmth aides in creating not just a book, but also a timeless story that begs to be read again & again. Not only do we desire to teach children the consequences of the choices they make in life, but we also desire to create a work of art, more aptly done via a canvas and palette.

The following are sample illustrations from the book, which is eagerly searching for a good home.
