Welcome to Likuha design!  Here is the cover of my first children's book, titled Falcons in the City.  I wrote, illustrated and self published 500 copies in May 2013!  It's now available at 10 locations in Oregon, including 7 Portland bookstores.  See the bookstore links to the right, and check out my inkwater web page to read more information about the book and author!  You can also learn more about the book at the "Falcons in the City" page of this blog!

Mark your calenders for the Portland Audubon Wild Arts Festival November 23 and 24 at Montgomery Park!  Copies of the book will be on sale along with more amazing nature art, sculptures, jewelry, photography, ceramics, and books!  Stay tuned for future festival updates!  All profits from the sale go to Portland Audubon's commendable mission of connecting people to nature, and their power to protect it!


Please contact me if you have any illustration requests or questions!   See the sample of a recently commissioned watercolor of the St John's Bridge on this page below.  Check out my wine label artwork, T-shirt designs, and falcon art poster offers on the other pages of this blog!  My pricing is very reasonable!

Just sold my first commissioned watercolor!  A wedding gift to  the young couple that were married under the St John's Bridge this August!  The purple -white flower is Stephanotis floribunda which represents "happiness in marriage."  The Cosmos represents "joy in love and life."  They gave me a very generous check for the watercolor and a copy of Falcons in the City!
