ABOUT

I am an illustrator living and working in the Pacific Northwest. I grew up in coastal Virginia and after earning a BFA in painting and graphic design, moved between Brooklyn and Portland for a few years. I started my career creating small run mini books with themes of myths, legends, and journeys. I use traditional media to build multi-faceted universes exploring landscapes and character narratives. I love folktales and myths and like to incorporate painted textiles and patterns into my work, a reflection of nearly a decade running a handweaving studio, Loom Room Textiles and a love of craft.

For illustration commissions and inquiries please email.
