CREATIVE STATEMENT
Hiking, camping, birding and summers at my uncle’s farm planted my love and curiosity for the natural world at a young age. Spotting local wildlife is especially excitng to me. I love imagining their personalites and how they are with each other. I capture that through facial expressions and environments in my illustrations. I like my art to tell a story through the characters and by giving special attention to color and handmade textures to create their amazing world.
