I’ve been drawn to storytelling through illustration for as long as I can remember. As a child, I spent hours lost in books, captivated by the artwork and eager to create my own. That same imagination still drives my work today—whether it’s the cozy world of my childhood dollhouse or the joy of turning an idea into something tangible.
I specialize in playful, whimsical art full of expressive characters, a touch of magic, and often, animals. Working digitally in Photoshop with my Cintiq, I also love traditional media like watercolor, gouache, ink, and cut paper. Lately, I’ve been exploring 3D set design, fascinated by how light and shadow interact with paper structures—something I hope to bring to my dream project: illustrating a story about a spunky girl navigating her emotions within her dollhouse world.
Beyond illustration, I’ve painted murals, designed hand-painted furniture, and created custom cards. When I’m not in the studio, I love hiking the Rockies, trying new recipes, and spending time with family and friends. This year, I’m focused on writing and illustrating my own manuscript, expanding my website, and inspiring young artists through school visits.
