Exciting News! My first illustrated picture book, 'Dig, Dance, Dive' written by
Etta Kaner and published by OwlKids Books is on shelves and available. here
I'm an illustrator and writer living in Ottawa Canada. I enjoy portraying animals with a mix of sass, humour, and tenderness. Working on projects that explore themes of our connection to nature is especially meaningful. I've created illustrations for
books, covers, magazines, coins, posters, museum exhibits, and the film industry.
If you have a project in mind, please feel free to contact me at june.steube@icloud.com
