About

Toronto-based artist with a background in visual arts, graphic design, and early childhood education. I specialize in traditional painting, drawing, and digital media.

You will find my work to be an accumulation of fantasy and sci-fi elements, with a loose, expressive joyful lines. My education background and former experiences allows me to explore illustrations for all ages, from children’s picture books to TTRPG illustrations.

Currently, I am dedicating my time to personal projects and portfolio development while freelancing. While I am developing my online website, I share my art under the studio name “Cherrimallow” on Instagram.

Hope I can contribute to your projects and ideas! :-)
