This was a two part project from my Junior Studio. I adapted Charlotte McConaghy's book titled "Once There Were Wolves" into a children's/picture book format including the front cover and one internal spread. The layout was built to leave space for text. McConaghy's work has environmentalist undertones, which is what I really wanted to highlight.

Loosely quote based project for my Natural Science Illustration class of a burrowing owl. The quote was “To forget how to dig the earth and tend the soil is to forget ourselves." from Gandhi. I wanted to represent how when we hurt the planet, we hurt ourselves. Every organism has a purpose in its ecosystem, so our destruction of it will eventually catch up to us. It is our choice whether we will help or cause harm.
This was a project I did for my Junior Studio. I wanted to create an assortment of designs in a similar style that could be placed on different items or made into stickers. My motto while designing them was "nature is magical", so I chose to do all keystone species. To me, they represent nature's magic as they help hold up entire ecosystems.
Self portrait for my Intro to Digital Art class! I wanted to highlight the dedication and passion I feel towards creating art.
