Discovery Toys,Harcourt and Houghton Mifflin.
I have also worked extensively with self-published authors.
From rough sketches,to storyboards,to finished,handpainted illustrations,I can turn your idea into a beautiful book.

One receiving an award in the best picture book category of the Writers Self-published Childrens book awards.Theresa's vision,grace,patience and heart reflected are reflected in the beautiful characters and environments she creates. It was a privilege to partner with her on my projects. -Todd Schwartz-Author

Theresa Burns Illustrated my second book of the Laceyville Monkeys called "Frosty Freeze friday",and what a fantastic job she did! After only a few conversations with me, she was able to capture the essence and joy of the characters in my book. Each illustration embodied the fun and fantasy of the story,yet was meticulously executed with the consistency and artistic expression of a true professional.
