Illustrated stories have a unique place in my heart. They allow me to blend my love for words with my passion for art. Peace Has Come, my collection of illustrated short stories, emerged from this very idea—creating stories that evoke empathy and cultural connection through images and text. Each illustration is not just a decoration; it plays a crucial role in bringing the narrative to life. The visual component helps deepen the emotional impact of the words and allows readers to engage with the story on multiple levels.

The act of combining words with pictures is an incredibly powerful way to convey ideas. In every illustrated short story I write, I’m constantly thinking about how the images can complement the text while adding layers of meaning. Art can evoke feelings in ways that words alone sometimes cannot. For me, this exploration is about creating stories that are immersive, that challenge readers to see the world differently, and that spark emotions that last long after the story ends.
