About the Illustrator

Hi there! I’m Cheryl, an art therapist, children’s book illustrator, and cartoonist that truly believes that creating something can really help a person find joy in life. As for me, I’ve been drawing and doing artsy things ever since I was a little girl. I used any medium I could get my hands on and often found art was the perfect outlet for all the woes that accompany childhood and growing up.

In 2004, I began drawing my cartoon line, “Sunny Days with E,” which was officially retired in the fall of 2018. I’ve illustrated 3 published non-fiction picture books (the first one being in 2018), and am looking forward to hopefully having an opportunity to start some fiction work in the future—I would love to continue to line my children’s shelves with many more of my books! My sweet babes continue to keep me young and have quickly become my inspiration for much of my art—every grown up needs an hilarious kid or two in their lives to remind them of all the best things in life!
