Thought I’d share a photo of my little bundle of joy with you all… our daughter, Hera Castles, was born safe & sound on Feb 18th! Both Hera & I are doing well, and loving being at home with Daddy and Grandma & Grandpa. Such an incredible feeling being a mother now, I am loving getting to know our little girl and have just fallen in love with her. SO… back to maternity leave for me, baby & I need our rest.

First-timer to your site. I found you via google in preparation for a castle mural I am starting this week for a client. Loved the site, the information, the insight.
I plan to check back regularly. I know things are crazy for you right now being a new mom and all (CONGRATULATIONS!)…but would love to chat, compare notes and such.
Thank you for the great resource!!

Heather, 1st time to your site and THANK YOU for sharing all that hard earned experience. To me a beginner in putting my portfolio together and still wondering what direction would be best style wise. It’s such a great relief to read all this info. Now to the important part..CONGRATS, Beautiful Baby. Enjoy with what energy u have left!I’ loved those precious moments now miss them. But I don’t want to do it again ( I went and had 4 kidlets..2,4,6,8)Just to really put my art career in very slow motion!!Good luck to you & family.Thank again

Many Blessings your way from first time visitors Mom (WitchDust) and 5 yr old daughter (WitchyBaby). We hail from West Tennessee and are writing a childs story about how she came to be our daughter.
While googling for an illustrator I happened upon your website. We so enjoyed sharing in your World! Wonderful & Delightful illustrations as well.
I have a brand new grandson born Jan 18, just a month older than your darling little Hera. Lovely name for a lovely little miracle.
