I continue to love your work, Gillian! A question, in case you didn't see my reply to your other comment: Could you possibly point me to a page listing your books, so I can include that info on my list of children's book illustrators?

Beautiful. I love what you wrote about the pearl being formed in us...and how and why the grit got inside of us in the first place. Acknowledging our pain and working with it, it's healing and does create beauty.

Amazing art! And the "pep" talk that was more like a gentle stroll on the beach, with my own thoughts, picking up sea shells.

So beautifully put! I love your words and I love your art! Too lovely to just give away and therefore so generous of you. How do you create them? Would love to know 💕

The Rainbow mountain reminds me of it being around PRIDE month in June. How the world has changed and how people are all more different these days . The sun is shining and hopefully we will see more rainbows along the way x
