Digital & Hand-Painted Illustrations

As I dive into a story, I love using my imagination to create a new world. When working with an author, I aim to establish close collaboration and understand their vision for the story in order to develop a unique style for each project. My primary goal is to be a supportive voice for the authors and help them bring their story to life in the way they envision it. That's why my portfolio showcases such a wide range of styles. Watercolor is my dominant medium, but it hasn't stopped me from excelling in digital art as well.
