Howdy! I’m Wren, a Phoenix-based wildlife and botanical illustrator. I am passionate about educating others on the importance of protecting native ecosystems, specially those in my home state of Arizona. Here’s some of my work!

Finalllyyy got a new tv courtesy of a good friend. Our old tv was 20 years old, passed down to me from my parents. It was a Samsung ~60” that weighed probably 80 lbs and had so many dead pixels it was starting to become difficult to watch/play anything lol. Thank God for amazing friends.

Throwback thursday, a painting I did in 2017 inspired by the song Dust Clears by Clean Bandit! One of my favourite songs back then, and probably one of the only coyotes I've painted.

Women want me. Fish fear me. Fish want me. Women fear me. Women are fish, fish are fish. Phylogenetically, all vertebrates are fish.

Just a reminder…
