FAQs

Every piece starts the same way: a pencil sketch in my sketchbook, then it moves into Procreate on my iPad, where color, texture, and final shape come together. It's a mix of technology and soul - traditional drawing instincts meeting a digital tool.

Both. I draw everything myself, by hand, using an iPad and Apple Pencil instead of paper and pencil for the final piece. Think of it the way David Hockney works - the hand and eye are exactly the same, only the canvas changed.

My work blends hand-drawn line work, painterly texture, and layered color built digitally to feel tactile and warm rather than flat or vector-perfect. The goal is always a piece that feels crafted, even though it's made on a screen.

My illustrations are created digitally, so there isn't a single physical "original" the way there would be with a painting. What makes a piece collectible is its edition - some works are printed in limited, numbered runs, which is where the rarity comes from.

A limited edition means only a set number of that illustration will ever be printed. Once the edition sells out, that print won't be reproduced again - so the number on your print is part of its story.

Giclée refers to a specific archival printing process used for my illustrations. Some pieces are printed as fine art prints on premium paper. Both are museum-quality reproductions of my digital illustrations - the difference is the printing method, not the artwork itself.

Yes - many of my pieces are designed with interiors in mind: warm, character-driven illustrations sized and framed to work as standalone gallery wall pieces or as part of a curated collection.

Yes. My collections are organized by subject - women, animals, botanicals, Cincinnati scenes, and zodiac - so you can shop by the mood or story you want on your wall rather than searching one piece at a time.

It depends on the space, but I usually recommend starting with a 5×7 or A5 piece for a single accent, 8×10 size, or a set (like my Portraits of Her collection) if you're building out a full gallery wall.

Very much so - many of my pieces travel as gifts. Postcards and small prints work well for a quick, meaningful gesture, and I can add a personal note if you'd like to make it extra special.

Yes, several pieces are designed around specific moments - motherhood, birthdays, love - so there's usually a piece that fits the occasion rather than a generic greeting card.

Yes - I've collaborated with publications, consumer brands, and institutions that want warm, character-based illustration to soften or humanize their message. Past work includes editorial features, brand campaigns, and healthcare/education-related projects.

I tend to work best with brands and institutions that need approachable, human-centered visual storytelling - think publications, family-facing brands, schools, healthcare organizations, and nonprofits.

Reach out with your project details the publication or brand, the general concept, and your timeline and I'll let you know if it's a fit. I work with editorial clients, brands, and institutions on selected projects.

Yes, select pieces are available wholesale for retail partners, with volume pricing for larger orders. Reach out if you're a shop owner interested in stocking my prints or cards.

Yes, my prints and cards are available in a handful of shops and cafés, in addition to my Etsy shop and website.

Yes, I run my studio from home in Cincinnati, Ohio. Every piece ships directly from here, and some of my illustrations are inspired by Cincinnati itself.

Yes, I have a collection of pieces inspired by Cincinnati landmarks and scenes, a nice pick for anyone local or gifting to someone with Cincinnati ties.

Archie is my corgi and unofficial studio mascot - he shows up in behind-the-scenes content and occasionally sneaks into a piece or two.

Sometimes, if the theme speaks to me. Send me your idea and I'll let you know if it's something I can bring to life, I work with private collectors as well as editorial and brand clients on select commissions.
