I’m excited to reveal the cover of my upcoming picture book, Thank You For This Day! Filled with nature scenes of snuggly foxes and playful rabbits, the book shares a soothing lullaby of gratitude for the beautiful natural world. It comes out in August and is available for preorder wherever you like to get your books. Published by Quarto and written by Sheleana Aiyana

So thrilled to share my recent collaboration with Market of Stars, called Lionheart. Some of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe are from Market of Stars, so I was thrilled to work with them on this collection. Inspired by fantasy novels and courage, the collection features a floral and lion motif. Find it here!

Hardcover case illustration for a limited edition of Wolf Worm by T. Kingfisher, for OwlCrate 🪱 I never thought I’d be illustrating botflies and screwworms, but they sure are fun to draw!

Book cover illustration for Heather Webber’s The Forget-Me-Not Library, which was included in the 2025 OwlCrate Advent Calendar. Such a fun one — I loved illustrating the art nouveau-style border and details! 🌿

Two book announcements! I can’t wait to welcome you into my personal garden in A YEAR IN THE GARDEN, and I am thrilled to be illustrating MAGIC WORDS by Fiona Cook.

It’s time for #artvsartist2025 ! The wild thing about working primarily in book publishing is that nearly all of these illustrations were done in 2023-24, but only came out this year. All the work I’ve done this year won’t be seen until next (and so on and so forth). I’m so proud of the work that came out this year, though, and hope you love it, too.

🚨💌📬My shop will close on December 14th, and all orders will be shipped by December 15th to (hopefully) arrive by Christmas! 🚨💌📬

[jessicaroux]

Tarot of the Woodland Wardens is out today! It’s my favorite thing I’ve ever made, and I hope you love it as much as I do. Find it through your favorite bookstore.

One of my absolute favorite cards in my new tarot deck, Tarot of the Woodland Wardens: the Eight of Pentacles! The story behind this image is one of my favorite bits of folklore, which tells of how the hedgehog shakes a grape tree, then uses her spiky back to collect the fallen fruit to feed her family. I can’t believe the deck comes out on TUESDAY! You can preorder it through all your favorite bookstores.

[jessicaroux]

Just a few days until Tarot of the Woodland Wardens is out in the world! As a preorder special, we’re giving away prints of the Strength card illustration when the new deck is preordered through participating bookstores. Independent bookstores are vital to our communities, and it makes me so happy when folks preorder through them! 💚
