Hi there! 👋 I create vibrant, empowering fantasy art inspired by fairytales, mythology, & nature. ✨

I work with pencil & mixed media painting (acrylic, oil, digital) 🎨

I’d love to do more work for book covers (YA & comics), cards, posters, & other fantasy-related projects

I’ve been reading a lot of fantasy romance this year, so of course it’s showing up in my art too! ✨📚

I’m always open for more book recommendations, so if you’ve been reading something good, let me know! 📖 (not limited to fantasy romance either)

Looking for an ARTIST for an assignment I am unable to take. Fantasy illustration, dynamic scene, multiple characters.

Drop your portfolio in the comments! The client will reach out if they see a fit.

Good luck!

Here’s a little peek at what’s been on my easel over the past couple of months. 🦢Life has been a bit hectic this summer, but through it all, this painting has been a source of calm in the chaos. It is slowly but surely coming together with every brushstroke! ✨

Artists! (and illustration lovers)

I'm making a directory of US-based illustration museums/galleries/shows because I couldn't find anywhere that listed them all in one place

What others am I missing? There HAVE to be more illustration galleries than this!

"Wings of Hope" 🦁

This piece feels like a manifestation of my faith & optimism in the face of scary times.

I can't control the world, but I can try to bring more kindness, beauty, magic, & hope into it.

& so, in at least some small way, I hope this painting brings more of those things to you! 🧡

The Guardian of Tranquility offers her protection over the watchful willows, the gentle, resilient streams, & every living thing within this serene refuge.

She offers the same to you. May your peace be protected in the refuge of your heart, mind, & home.

Each day this week, I am doing a thread to signal boost creators that are being targeted for marginalization by jerks.

If you are a creator with a disability, please post below and include a link/sample of your work.

You DO NOT have to disclose your disability!

Support these folks, everyone!

Here’s a peek at the pencil drawing for my next painting! ✏️🦁

I have to focus on my joy, on my art, and hold onto hope, even in uncertain times.

I’d like some of that hope, and joy, to shine through in this piece.

Life can be difficult, so please be gentle and kind with yourself. 🧡
