My illustrative work differs from my paintings, as it allows my imagination to roam free and enables me to express myself authentically through my art without constraint. Each inhabitant in my illustrative work holds a story waiting to be revealed, embodied in whimsical humans and creatures whose presence sparks curiosity. Balancing these two aspects of my creative process likely allows me to explore different styles, techniques, and ideas while still maintaining a level of professionalism in my work.
