Young me dreaming of becoming a professional artist

My art, My voice

Have you ever heard of the word “Hygge”? It’s a scandinavian word to describe a cozy quality that makes a person feel content and comfortable.

That is what my art is to me and hopefully those who view it.

Illustrative Portraits

Cute, whimsical illustrations in watercolor of your family. It's the perfect gift, the sweetest little addition to a photo wall or the best way to remember someone lost.

All I need from you is a photo, or several to combine. If you don't have a photo that you want to use I can sketch something freehand, but there is a slight

up-charge as it takes more time.
