My Work on Magnolia Parks
A defining moment in my journey as a book cover artist
I am the artist behind the official illustrated covers for the Magnolia Parks series by bestselling author Jessa Hastings, or ‘Jessa’s Version’ as they’ve become known to be since alternative covers have been released. These hand-crafted artworks were created for the sensational (and viral!) Magnolia Parks Universe including the limited special edition covers shown below.

Testimonials
"Emmy is a seriously insanely talented woman!!! When I saw the painting of Ruby, I couldn't get over how much emotion is in her eyes while also seeing this soft smirk on her. I die. & I think the ruby color is genius! I kept trusting her vision because I had no comments/critiques other than absolutely gushing. I love seeing the brush strokes on the canvas too! "
"Working with Emmy was an absolute dream. She understood my vision from the very beginning, and her genuine enthusiasm made me feel even more excited about bringing it to life.
The final product exceeded every expectation - she didn’t just illustrate my idea, she elevated it. What she created is more than just visually stunning, it holds emotion, intention, and heart."
"Emmy was a joy to work with, truly. I have nothing but praise, I have learned so much about illustration and the publishing process and Emmy was wonderful to work with throughout the project."
