Hi there! I'm a 23-year-old animal artist from Ohio, I'm passionate about nature (especially animals) and like to incorporate that heavily into my works. I have moved on from etsy and am focusing on a story at the moment.

I realize I never posted these little guys, some stylized european robins. These were made earlier in 2025. I painted them with gouache on some scrapbooking paper.

I really pushed and got this drawing done today! I also got my printer out of storage so I can scan my work instead of trying to get good lighting.

Alright, ive decided to sign up for something called Teezrs. I definitely do not post a lot so I wanted to make sure a bit more of my stuff is up for them to look at! Here is a collage of a few of my favorites. One of them is already featured in my profile Pic but I can never get enough of that one.

Hello! Ive been inactive, as is typical for me, but I wanted to stop in with an update. For the past year I've been dreaming up a story and finally feel up to tackling it. So, I will do my best to upload some art about the story. Ive included a sneak peak of some story art.

Currently re-learning landscapes. I love drawing animals but I really fall through when it comes to landscapes. It's wild the difference in just two paintings.

Today I celebrate this amazing artist, Jonathan Harris! He has incredible talent and I feel the message in this painting does an amazing job explaining current politics here in America.

A deer skull I painted last year, the skull was found in the woods for me by a family member. I'm planning to make a mount for it soon.

For black history month, let's take a moment to thank the Bands of Mercy. A group of people who fought for animal welfare started in 1875. They are the reason we have come so far, the group had some notable members such as Rev. Richard Carroll, F. Rivers Barnwell, and William Key.
