Happy year of the horse!

The "inevitability of AI" as well as treating art production as a "race" are both lies to induce FOMO and trigger adoption, sell coaching. Successful art never "won" because it had better production metrics. It "won" because it had better reception metrics. Everybody stay cool and keep resisting!

Starting 2026 with a reminder to keep going when things feel tough <3

Art vs artist, 2025 edition! Had lots of fun this past year, and here's some of the work I really enjoyed. #artvsartist #artvsartist2025 #childrensillustration #wildlifeart #cats

Belated Halloween post (whoops!) I found some beautiful vintage Halloween postcards online and just had to draw my own version. The original card was published by Whitney Made circa early 1900s, but my research didn't turn up the illustrator's name (if you know them, lmk!) #halloween #vintageart

Tomorrow is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Celebrate Indigenous voices all year round with these recommended reads: 🪶 THE HAWK SHADOW, written by Jan Bourdeau Waboose and llustrated by Karlene Harvey

Caribou are an indicator species, meaning that their health reflects that of their ecosystem. They live in old-growth boreal forests. Protecting their habitat also protects many other species~ #caribou #reindeer #autumn #fall #canada #nature #wildlifeart #education #childrensillustration

My cat is from outer space! Concept work for a silly story about unusual friends. #kidlit #visdev #kidlitart #illustrator

This #earthday is a good day to learn about some endangered species in Canada and how you can help protect biodiversity. Impacted by habitat loss, the Eastern loggerhead shrike, mottled duskywing butterfly, whooping crane, and Blanding's turtle have all seen significant population reductions.

Biodiversity matters—every species plays a role. Featuring the mottled duskywing, Eastern loggerhead shrike, whooping crane & Blanding’s turtle. Let’s keep Canada wild 💚 #SaveOurSpecies #WildlifeArt

Took some time the other day to have fun with papercutting. Very freeing to just work on something with no pressure or goal in mind!

2025 is the year of the snake! What does that mean for your zodiac animal? #chinesenewyear #lunarnewyear #yearofthesnake #chinesenewyear2025

The final from my sculpture project this past semester featuring my little witch cat, Fig. What a fun experience it was to get really into crafting, sculpting, and some creative problem-solving.

#artvsartist2024 #artvsartist I had a really incredible year, though it was a ton of work. I got to experiment with new mediums like sculpture, screen printing, block printing, and feeling like I'm really coming into what I enjoy doing. I'm looking forward to what new things 2025 brings!

Snow leopard studies

Two page magazine spread about snow leopards for my Children's illustration course. I loved researching and sketching these beautiful cats!
