CURRENTS

CHARLESBRIDGE, September 2015

I had the pleasure of working with Charlesbridge to illustrate Jane Petrlik Smolik's debut novel, Currents. Here are the original watercolor illustrations I created for the book jacket and interior. 

Currents is a historical, middle grade novel that tells the stories of Bones, Bess, and Mary Margaret: three young girls from very different worlds whose lives are connected by treasures concealed in a bottle and set adrift on the ocean.
