I'm a writer. I'm an artist. I'm a graphic designer.
One morning, after a vivid dream, I woke up with an idea that me to write. I found joy in crafting my characters, which eventually led to the creation of my trilogy, Escape To Phobos.
​
One day, while discussing this experience and just writing in general with my mother, I expressed my belief that it was simply a facet of being an artist. She looked at me incredulously and said, "No, writing is something entirely different."
That comment lingered in my mind, and I ultimately came to realize maybe she was right; after all, not many artists write, and few writers paint.
For years, people have wondered how I manage to do both (How does she pull it off?). While neither painting nor writing is particularly easy, I started and painting at the tender age of two. My artistic journey continued to evolve through high school and later at the University of Florida, where I briefly majored in drawing and painting before transferring to Graphic Design, a field which I was accepted.
Fast forward to 2012, when I had become an accomplished graphic designer, earning five Golden Awards through hard work and dedication.
Art is both my passion and my purpose. As an artist, I express emotions through painting, where words remain unspoken yet felt. In contrast, writing allows me to articulate those thoughts clearly within the pages of my books.

A Symbiotic Tale
By Missy Kavanaugh, Illustrated by K. Van Kramer
I used bright colorful images to bring this story to life by using drawings I did by hand which I later scanned and completed using Illustrator on a Mac computer. I worked closely with Missy, to ensure that my art complemented the story and appealed to young children. I found a lot of satisfaction in knowing that my work can captivate young minds, and make a positive impact on children's literacy. Later I produced the entire book with In-Design.

The Man Who Planted Seeds
By Missy Kavanaugh, Illustrated by K. Van Kramer
Inspired by Winnie The Pooh classics, I decided to use soft watercolors to illustrate this book. The story follows a boy who becomes curious about a local Shepard and why he has chosen such a lonely life. The boy befriends him for a time, and learns the man is trying to restore a ruined, and largely abandoned Alp valley by single-handedly cultivating a forest, by planting acorns. Years later the boy returns to find the Shepard, and realizes he is the reason that the valley has been turned into a Garden of Eden. Beautiful hardcovers are available on Lulu.
