All Hands Down

I believe hands are the most beautiful parts of the human body. They carry wisdom in aging, truthful expressions in gestures, and serve as guides for identification given by their marks; each hand tells a unique story of a life lived. For some, they are a metaphor for romance, a touch as a language of love, a sense of familiarity and belonging. For others, they are an answer to a mystery, a memory of an uninvited past.

I love sketching hands, illustrating, painting, and drawing. I wish I could pursue all my projects exploring this beauty through creativity and connection. So, when I see this collection of covers—from romance to thrillers—I notice how many different, interpretive themes these hands could introduce.
