I was asked to create a large-scale mural artwork at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company (HMH). My artwork and I are featured in an interview piece by Erik Bryan titled, “Fantasy Job” with HMH Editor, Nicole Sclama. The feature is located in the “Career Focus: Book Editor” section of the book. I created this large-scale mural artwork in support of sharing the creative process of how fantasy book covers are designed in middle grade and teen fantasy fiction novels, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
