Artist Statement
My personal work consists of stylized realism that includes detail found in the natural world, with hints of fantastical and whimsical elements. The artwork I create aims to capture the details of nature and inspire a greater appreciation for the natural world. My work as a science communicator involves partnering a background in biology and medical illustration with artistic techniques to bridge information gaps and communicate information through accurate and engaging media. My science background greatly informs my personal art by drawing upon research and the ability to accurately represent subject matter, while still capturing a fantastical and whimsical feel.
If I need references for my artwork, I work from live observation or photograph things I want to embody later through art. My fantasy work is often a combination of my own imagination and references, or simply based on what caught my eye and inspired me to create. I enjoy character design and the creation process of whimsical work. For me, inspiration can be found everywhere and my personal artwork is a showcase of what I find interesting, magical, and bold to share with others.
From Sketch to Final Illustration.
