I have been drawing and writing stories for over fifteen years, but I have found my greatest wealth of creative inspiration from seeing the world through my son’s upside down and inside out point of view. I am currently building my illustration portfolio with the goal of designing and illustrating children’s books and products. For the latest in my progress, please like and follow me on Facebook: @latonyarjacksonartstudio, Instagram: @latonyar.jacksonartstudio, and Twitter: @artsy_mommy
