Lately I’ve been experimenting with the integration between traditional and digital media. The background is gouache, the trees were done using masking tape and the characters and details are digital coloured pencils. Let me know what you think of this forest adventure!

Working on revamping my portfolio, I had so much fun with this piece! I love drawing plants and cute little characters, and you?

I took the summer off of social media and it was refreshing! I had time to work on a new book for an indie author, take some time off for family, and just recharge a bit for what’s to come in the Fall. Now I am back with this redraw of an old work, let me know what you think! #illustration #kidlit

Our Halloween peeps are now exploring an old castle, can you see what lurks in there and where we have already seen it? 😊

A redraw of an old illustration of mine. 2025 version vs 2021. My style evolved quite a lot in these years, and it will probably keep evolving. The secret is always practice. #illustration #kidlitart #aliceinwonderland #artistjourney
