So excited to release the Animals of Northern New Mexico coloring book this fall!

After several years of drawing Northern New Mexico animals, I decided to do a coloring book! Wild animals are SO cool, and Northern NM animals are incredible–surviving dessert climates and snowy mountains, these tenacious little creatures are so fun to draw and color. Like, did you know a roadrunner can swallow a rattlesnake whole? Or that the grey fox is the only canine who can climb a tree? And a horned toad can shoot blood out of their eyes to deter a predator? And elk have a matriarchal society? It’s amazing that these animals survive and thrive in some of the most vast and intense landscapes. They are so inspirational–raising babies and living life with nothing but the natural earth. The book includes some favorite nature quotes, as well as some thoughtful prompts so you can fire up your own creativity and find your wild side!

You can find my book at the Valles Caldera National Monument gift shop. (More locations coming soon!)
