ILLUSTRATION GALLERY

i illustrate as a form of meditation

The back and forth of working both sides of my brain, the creative and the scientific, puts me into a place of calm focus.

I work with a variety of drawing and painting tools to capture the different intricacies and texture in the nature treasures I observe. I typically start with my observation in one of my many nature journals, then will translate it into a more “finished” drawing, and sometimes into jewelry. As you can see below, my journal entries often include reference to where I found the species, any folk wisdom, and common use.
