Illustration

I'm working on new website to properly showcase my writing and illustration, but for now here are some pieces that show the kind of work I would like to do. Since I was a young girl in an after-school art club one of my favorite ways to make art has been with block printing. I love the tactile experience of carving out an image on a block and then printing it by hand. I also love to draw with a pen on real paper. But I have learned to appreciate the convenience and efficiency of drawing and painting digitally, so most of my illustrations are created with a combination of analog and digital techniques.
