CM Books
In addition to making cookies, I started illustrating and producing coloring books in 2019. I grew up drawing with my grandfather who worked as a caricature artist at one of our local newspapers in Rochester, NY, where I’m from. My grandmother also owned a ceramic shop in town. Needless to say, making is in my DNA. At The Aldrich (my full-time job), I manage the production of all of our publications and have worked on several books over the years.
My coloring books are available for purchase on Amazon (linked below) and I also sell them at the local farmer's markets where I sell cookies.
