Children's Book

I hired Lisa to provide illustrations for four children's books that I have written. Lisa's work has always been outstanding. Aside from the fact that she is so very talented, she is easy to work with, receptive to suggestions, prompt, imaginative in helping me produce what I want, and just a pleasure to work with all the time. Everyone who has seen my books always mentions that the illustrations are great. And they are!
