I’m an illustrator and botanical artist based in Vancouver, Canada. I am passionate about creating captivating botanical compositions and pattern designs, sourcing inspiration from centuries-old botanical art traditions. My designs are hand-painted with watercolors on paper, my favorite medium for capturing and celebrating the delicate beauty of native wildflowers, wild foods, and the unique properties of plants. Through my collections, I hope to inspire a deeper connection to the natural world, encouraging others to appreciate the subtle wonders that surround us.
When not in the studio, I enjoy hiking through the forests of the Pacific Northwest, sketching, and exploring native flora.
