I’ve drawn in pencil for years, but ink scared me for a log time. These journals are me finally trying anyway! Each cover is drawn by hand directly on the journal, in archival ink pen, with equal parts terror and joy. What would you like to see on a journal?

Scroll down for SO many more puppies, and a few cats and birds. Who will be my first reptile?

The Puppy Family Challenge

This beautiful litter of pups were very much loved by the family helped them into this world. Their grandmother not only adopted one of these cuties, but commissioned me for this portrait of them all together. I had to nudge them closer to each other to fit them on one page!


I take both commissions and suggestions!

Let’s work together!

I have worked in a pencil and digital medium in the past, and am currently working on ink line art. Finding the time and patience for watercolor is on my wish list. My favorite things to draw are inspired by books, creativity, and nature.
