Art has always been at the center of my life, ever since I could hold a crayon and decorate the bedroom walls. Creating is my meditation, and I’m always dreaming up the next project. If you’d like to work together, I bring imagination, detail, and heart to every illustration. For inquiries, feel free to contact my agent, Angharad Kowal Stannus.
