I create whimsical illustrations featuring animals and a spin on nostalgic throw-backs!
Meet the Maker
“My colors call back to the 90s with a nod to Lisa Frank and Dinosaur Bob books, while my subject matter playfully dives into the world of animals and nostalgic nonsense. I like to make things I enjoyed as a kid: dinosaurs, pets, dragons, fairies, monsters, and everything in between. I work traditionally with watercolors and acrylics, but I also work digitally with procreate and photoshop. Expect a hodgepodge of playful pieces inspired by my never-ending childhood.”
About
I grew up watching movies, lots of movies. I used to trace the cartoons off of birthday cards and spent all my time in kindergarten at the art table drawing my all-time favorite thing: animals. Flash forward to 2026, I'm still a movie aficionado and friend to all animals, but now my adventures have led me all over the US with my feet planted now in North Carolina. I'm a proud Hufflepuff who likes Spider-Man, Squirrel Girl, Hawaiian pizza, and a kickin' music playlist to get my imagination going. I really enjoy working on pet paintings and my dog Timber is always by my side to do quality check!
