    uniE621 Love Looks on the Bright Side
    This is an illustration from the children's book I am working on as a personal project. I used the color contrast between the red and yellow to really make the lady bug stand out in the illustration. Another important detail was to make the main sunflower and lady bug the sharpest, most saturated, and most detailed part of the illustration to create hierarchy.…
    uniE621 Grub
    A childhood memory most of us will relate to... sneaking cookies from the jar. I used my own kitchen as a reference to bring this illustration to life. The light pouring through the window subtly leads the views eye and highlights the action of the subject.…
    uniE621 My Heart & Treasure
    The task at hand in this illustration was effectively conveying the essence of the word "treasure." To me, family is one of my greatest treasures. Because of this, I chose to use this family of bears as a picture of my own family, portraying the word "treasure" as they enjoy quality cuddle time around their campfire.…
    uniE621 Stone Slinger
    A daring western cowgirl...with a twist...she wields a giant slingshot as her defense weapon of choice! I wanted to communicate sass and confidence in her stance and facial expression. Her bold color choices in her outfit also communicate her strong personality. A simple background was used to draw the focus to the subject.…
    uniE621 Flowers, Ducks, Boots, Oh My!
    The happiest girl in her flower-filled garden. She's got flowers, ducks, and cool, yellow boots. What more could you ask for?! I wanted this illustration to look bright and happy, so I used a spring color palette. The girl's confident, cheerful walking pose encourages this mood.…
    uniE621 Love Is Patient
    This is the first of a series of illustrations for a children's book I am working on. It will go through each attribute of love as Biblically described in 1 Corinthians 13, with the goal of teaching children the true definition of love according to Scripture. In order to capture the attention of a young audience, I illustrated the scene with bright colors, and used animals as my subject to feed the imagination and memorability of the picture.…
    uniE621 Fruit of the Spirit Poster Series
    Inspired by the Arts & Crafts / Art Nouveau movement, I designed this poster series in Adobe Illustrator. I used patterns, color, and intricate shapes to really pull the viewer in. These work well as individual posters, but of course complement each other beautifully as a set.…
