illustration of These two illustrations are part of a sequential series I created for the prompts of the Bug Week 2025 challenge on instagram. I wanted to explore color and texture, and challenge myself with creating a storyline that connects all the prompts. The main character is a friendly little bug and their pet rubber ducky isopod.
illustration of This illustration depicting a magical scene with a tiny messenger sitting on her robin holding a candle looking for new adventures on the horizon was created for the 2025 inktober challenge. Besides the creepy cute themes, the flowy black lines and the limited color palette holds this series together.
illustration of Both of these illustrations are personal projects exploring childhood summers and playtime. The theme centers kiddos' joyful imagination, that can turn the simplest things, such as clouds and soap bubbles into sources of magic and wonder.
illustration of I have a thing for turtles and flowers. This little fellow started out as a linework, and through the years colors and other floral adventures have followed. Comes with an adorbs warning, might melt your heart.
illustration of Personal illustration series I created back in 2023 for the Blooming March Week hosted on instagram. Some of the themes were: spring in the park (chilling in the park on a quilted blanket with a good book sounds like a good plan), blooming glasshouse (and feeling all the feels) and succulents.
illustration of This illustration is part of my creepy cute drawtober series from 2025. My go to method for this challenge besides combining different lists, is flowy linework and a limited color palette. The prompts I used for this one were: spell, yarn, rivals, sleep and skull and ended up with this peaceful witch deep in slumber, blissfully unaware of the shenanigans of her familiars.
illustration of 5 gorgeous winter hats you never knew you needed. The starter kit for anyone who wants to enter the Holiday Season well prepped, fashionable and ready for any and all occasions. From keeping your pets close and warm, to complete sound protection: you name it, the series got you covered. No pun intended. The complete series is up on my instagram.
illustration of This illustration was part of a fun series inspired by the year of the dragon theme circulating on socials. As you can see Dragon is winning, as one should when a whole year is dedicated to them. The knight apologized for the thing with the sword and returned the stolen egg. No horse was harmed.
illustration of As part of the Funguary challenge 2025 I created characters in enchanted forest environments inspired by different mushrooms. In the previous years my focus was character development only so earlier series were linework to keep the forms clear and simple. In 2025 honouring the last season of this challenge I went deeper and besides linework I created these coloured pieces.
illustration of I enjoy great costume design, so whenever I have a chance I create studies of these costumes and the women wearing it. This one was inspired by the movie: Midsommar.
