Hi, I’m a freelance artist and illustrator trying to break into the world of children’s book illustrations. I have a desire to create comforting and memorable illustrations for children, so that I can use my skillset to evoke warm memories. I’m currently pursuing a degree in Fine Arts to prepare myself for my career goals. I’m most skilled at traditional art, and at emulating that kind of look digitally as well. I have worked commission type art positions since 2020, and have experience working closely with clients to understand their vision and help them bring it to life. Besides my commission experience creating a variety of works including portraits, paintings, and tattoos, I have been hired under contract to create a book cover for senior physical therapy and a mural for a high school.
