Happy #Kidlitartpostcard day!
I’m interested in PBs, early readers, greeting cards, & more! I ❤️ tender, fun, and wow moments in life. I use gelli prints, acrylic, and digital media. Seeking representation.
Wishing you memorable activities with loved ones this holiday. ❤️ 💥

It's #KidLitArtPostcard day, a good day for a parade. I'm Kara Marsee, and I'm seeking representation for picture book writing and illustrating. I like to draw playful, sweet moments, unusual animals, and musical instruments.

I love these characters so much, looking forward to seeing them again for "I'm Busy"!

I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since #scbwiNY25 So grateful to Shutta Crum & SCBWI MI for the scholarship & opportunity to attend. I'm just sitting down to review notes & connect with more awesome #kidlit creators! Here's just some of the postcards I picked up - say hey if you're here :)

Love this so much! So glad I was able to get one at #scbwiNY25 :) 📚🎨❤️

Wow! That's a lot of pics! You only kept 3? Amazing.
No- if I had, I'd send you a digital copy :) I did take a pic of you for my camera loving son. He was impressed. :)

Everytime I open youtube it wants to show me makeup ads or botox...🙄😑

Your polaroid was super cool! How many photos did you take and give away? That was so nice of you! 😁

Congratulations!!! Clearly, 🍰 is required! 🤗

Your elephant is adorable! I picked up your postcard at the #SCBWINY25 😁 Wish we had more time to connect - it went by so fast!
