My Art

My art is centered on all things whimsical. Primarily focusing on figures, I like to create paintings of characters in fantasy, cottagecore, or fairy settings. You will notice a lot of my figures have pointed elf ears, wings, brightly colored hair, or other fun fantastical elements. If backgrounds are present, they usually show soft colorful palettes or pastoral scenes.

I work in a variety of traditional mediums including watercolor, ink, oil paint, colored pencil, and gouache. Whether I am working with one medium or a combination of several in my work, I like to let each medium really shine. Every medium has its own unique qualities, and I want them to really show in each piece I create. I like for my oil paintings to either have glossy smooth finishes or thick heavy brush strokes that only oil can achieve, and for my watercolors to contain beautiful gradients and really show exactly where the water moved the pigment. I try to choose my mediums carefully while creating each piece, and its usually because I want those unique qualities to really set the piece apart.

The process of creating art is so therapeutic and cozy to me, and it's been one of my favorite hobbies all of my life. I share my work with others as a way to express myself, and hopefully infuse others' lives with beautiful color.

If you are interested, I sell prints of my work and I accept custom commissions. Please see the links on my homepage for further details.

Materials / Process

I mainly use Daniel Smith watercolors in my pallete, with a few token exceptions. I find that these are the most beautiful paints with a variety of gorgeous colors!
I also own the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor set. These are more of a flat matte watercolor, great for soft pastel poster-style works.

I use Holbein Artist gouache (not acrylic gouache!) or the Himi gouache set.

I don't have any specific watercolor brushes I use, but I usually pick small synthetic bristle brushes from stores like Michaels or Blick.

My absolute favorite watercolor paper is the Fluid 100 watercolor paper! It is great quality for a reasonable price. I usually choose cold-press paper, which has a light texture to it. I also prefer using a block so that the edges are already secured down and I dont need to tape the paper to my desk.

For oil paint, I use Gamblin oil paints. They're beautiful colors for a great price, and are a family-owned American-made business, which I love! As far as oil canvas, I like to buy whatever is on sale at Michaels, lol.

All of my stickers are drawn on Procreate or with traditional mediums like watercolor and colored pencil. I print them at home with an Inkjet printer (Epson EcoTank, ET-2800) on printable vinyl, my favorite is the QYH Printable Vinyl Sticker Paper in Glossy. I use a Cricut Joy Xtra to cut the stickers.

Art prints that I sell are printed on paper from Red River Paper Company and printed on my aforementioned Epson Eco-Tank (ET-2800).

All of my packaging supplies are eco friendly! I buy glassine bags and paper envelopes from Clear Plastic Bags, which are biodegradable/compostable.
