What was your favorite book as a kid? I remember being able to lose myself in the world of a book so much more intensely when I was little— it was magic and I would gobble up every tiny detail in the art, which is something I always try to tap into when I’m working on picture book illustration. . . . . . . . . . . . . #best_of_illustrations #kidillustration #kidlitillustration #kidlitartist #childrenillustration #kidlitart #illustrationforkids #childrenbookart #childrenillustrator #magic_of_illustrations #picturebookillustration #magicillustration #natureonthepage #inspiredbynature #smallmomentsofcalm #natureinspiration #asimplestill #aseasonalshift #moreillustrations #illustrationhowl #illustrationlove #illustreak #illustratedimpact #illustratorsoninstagram #coolforyoubook #femaleillustration #icandraw #artguide_illustration #weareillustration #illustragram (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzioWsklqx5/?igshid=bda4hjs3p9l5

I always wish I could share this piece with you more easily, but the panorama format doesn’t work easily with Instagram. Swipe to see the whole thing 👉 . Fun fact: this illustration was inspired by Maggie Rogers’ song “Alaska,” which is about gaining freedom to explore, both the world and yourself. I had recently left a stifling relationship via a difficult divorce and it spoke to me greatly. Still one of my fave songs. 🥰 . . . . . . . . . #maggierogersalaska #natureonthepage #inspiredbynature #smallmomentsofcalm #natureinspiration #asimplestill #aseasonalshift #alaskalandscape #moreillustrations #illustrationhowl #illustrationlove #illustreak #illustratedimpact #illustratorsoninstagram #theeverydayproject #feelfreefeed #theuncoolclub #momentsofmine #ofsimplethings #chattycaptioncommunity #thecaptionclub #thesehappysquares #dailytravelers #girlsthatwander #travelart #roadtrip #discoverunder5k #discoverunder10k #goneoutdoors #shetravels (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/BynVfXPF12J/?igshid=svrbuieyy3f7

For the “Design Process” #marchmeetthemaker prompt, I’m showing this wedding invitation commission (minus the text). . 🧡 . A vast majority of my work is for clients and commissions, so the design process often revolves around what’s best for the people I’m working with. Even starting with my quote for the job, I outline the steps we’ll take with sketches and revisions. Some people know exactly what they need and don’t need much preliminary work. Others need unlimited revisions because they don’t know exactly what they’re shooting for. The design process is customizable when you’re working with me, but some things are always the same: I always do my best to make you happy, and I always believe in the importance of communication. 😊🧡 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #natureonthepage #inspiredbynature #smallmomentsofcalm #natureinspiration #asimplestill #aseasonalshift #lovelysquares #visualcrush #daysofsmallthings #nothingsordinary #pursuepretty #thatsdarling #mybeautifulmess #thenativecreative #colorcrush #wisdomwednesday #moreillustrations #illustrationhowl #illustrationlove #illustreak #illustratedimpact #illustratorsoninstagram #chicagoart #chicagowedding #weddinginvitation #weddingideas #weddinginspo #invitationideas #illustratedinvitation (at Wrigley Field) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPwhrqFcfZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xhdz4imrs0zq

In Aesop’s fable, ‘The Hare, the Hound and the Goatherd’, a dog gives chase to a hare, but upon failing to catch him the goatherd laughs at him. The dog, once he has his breath back, tells the goatherd, “I was merely running for my dinner but he was running for his life”. ... #hare#hares#britishwildlife#artinprogress#artinprocess#painting#winsorandnewton##winsorandnewtonwatercolours#winsorandnewtonwatercolors#outofoffice #illustration #handpainted #art #design #illustrationoftheday #illustrationdaily #creativecommunity #createeveryday #pretty #creativehappylife #maketimeforart #asimplestill #sketchbook #watercolor #landscape #inspiredbynature #paintingfromlife

The name for lovebirds is well deserved. Mating for life, they’re level of monogamy puts us flakey humans to shame, and if for any reason they’re separated they can become very visibly distressed. Lovebirds also feed one another, groom one another, and even sing to one another. ... #lovebirds#lovebird##artinprogress#artinprocess#painting#paintinginprogress#halfdone#watercolourpainting#watercolour#watercolor #watercolour_gallery#winsorandnewton##winsorandnewtonwatercolours#winsorandnewtonwatercolors #illustration #handpainted #art #design #illustrationoftheday #illustrationdaily #creativecommunity #createeveryday #pretty #creativehappylife #maketimeforart #asimplestill #sketchbook #watercolor #landscape #inspiredbynature
