The Color Of Calm
Workman Publishing, Hachette Book Group
This project was a dream come true for me, as drawing coloring pages is my passion, and creating various patterns, decorating scenes with intricate ornaments and doodles brings me immense happiness. The theme and style aligned perfectly!
I am overjoyed at the thought of my illustrations, created with so much love, reaching people and helping them find inner calm as they color the pages.
This pocket-sized book contains 90 pages of patterns and illustrations designed to shut out the noise and create peace of mind. The Color of Calm offers page after page of intricate patterns and soothing scenes—a cozy fireplace, a cat curled up on a rug, afternoon tea—all designed to help put busy life on pause.
It's available on the official website and also on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Bookshop, Target, and Walmart
The project began with real-size sketches of all the pages, allowing me to see the true proportions and scale of the elements — especially the smaller details — to ensure they weren’t too tiny and would be comfortable and enjoyable to color.
Once the sketches were approved, I created the final illustrations in Adobe Illustrator to ensure clean artwork with crisp, neat lines.
It was my travel buddy during my recent journey to Europe. I carried it all the way and enjoyed coloring it in at each of my destinations and during my flights too.
