I am an illustrator and writer with skills in graphic design, web and blog design, teaching, and the general ability to create something out of nothing. (So, maybe I'm a magician?) I specialize in illustrating culturally inspired fantastical characters and all things natural - especially botanicals.
I currently have many images available for licensing and create new work for all types of uses, from book illustrations to branding. There are many more samples to share. If my style fits your project, or you have any questions, please feel free to
CONTACT me.
