About

While her skills and interests are broad, her favourite projects focus on creation of story and include graphic novels, children’s books and digital paintings. She is skilled with software, including Photoshop, InDesign and Clip Studio Paint, as well as with traditional media.

She seeks to explore these ideas through narrative, crafting stories that evoke strong feelings and engage readers in worlds that feel true to life, even when representing the spectacular.
