I'm not able to verify enough independent sources to establish notability. I also could not find basic information such as her DOB, or sources to verify education. Article was created and extensively edited by a SPA. The awards all appear to be run of the mill industry awards; in other words, just an illustrator doing her job. GNG fail.

 * Comment I'm trying hard to find some of these references, having trouble. The Moonbeam awards might be a big enough deal, since she won the first ever 'best illustrator'? The Dragon Pencil awards don't seem to be a thing any more, the domain is dead. It does appear from the subject's website that there's been repeated and some extensive coverage in Mary Engelbreit Magazine, but I can't seem to figure out which issues, etc. valereee (talk) 13:46, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
 * The Moonbeam awards page says they gave out 81 gold, silver or bronze awards in 2007, in 27 categories. She won the first prize (gold) in the "Best Illustrator" category. It's something, but I don't think it's enough. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:43, 27 December 2018 (UTC)


 * There's also a Russian-language article that looks like it was a feature on her at her website. Again, can't get to it and because it's a pdf of the article, can't translate it or google it.valereee (talk) 20:13, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment I did find this source of information about children's literature and book awards, updated 2007, which says " The DragonPencil Awards honor the very best in independently published children's books. The sponsors describe it as "the most prestigious award for self-published children's publishers in the industry." Winners receive a plaque and 2000 embossed, foil-printed seals to apply to their books. Categories include: Book of the Year, Illustration (gold, silver medals), Literature (gold, silver medals)." I also found a couple of short reviews of her books: My Mother Gave Me the Moon - "heartfelt ... full of tender words ... simple text and vivid colors" ; And Then In A Twinkling "charming little book of watercolor artwork and inspirational sayings. It promises to bring out the holiday cheer in anyone." I don't think it matters not knowing a DOB, but we do need independent sources for the information that is included in the article.
