Hello, I'm an artist from Canada. I often explore themes of love, identity, and intense emotion through gentle illustration. My work also includes fragmented storytelling, character art, and sewing.

Fabric patches available in my shop now! Small cotton poplin and large linen-cotton canvas options are available. There are only 4 of each canvas patch for now, I'm not sure when I will be ordering more.
My personal patch project: tailoring this vest and stitching hades carrying eros to the underworld onto the back 💘

I would love to see anything you add a patch to, the last run as well! It's really wonderful getting to see where you guys put my work 💕

I had closed my shop in anticipation of the Canada post strike but they seem to be shipping still, so I’ve re-opened it lmao
while sorting through my shop supplies I’ve gathered all of the left over fabric patches from last summer and have listed them for what is about 40-50% off I believe? There’s small ones for 8$cad and large ones for 16$cad ^^ I would just like to clear some stuff out. I’ve also discounted the two chokers up i have up for the last time, after this I will likely remove them from the shop and keep for my personal wardrobe lmao. But yeah lots of discounts! The fabric patches can be sent via letter mail as well, meaning shipping is 4-6$cad depending!

Pupa ✢ The writing reads:
Time envelops and keeps me Not awake / Not asleep In this chrysalis / In this shroud I am stillborn / I am buried alive Yet I change / I am changing / And I ache Held still
I started this over a year ago and came back to it periodically, but I decided to just finally finish it. It’s morphed, undone itself, and transformed many times in the process of illustrating it. Sincerely, I considered giving up on the piece. I am glad I didn’t despite its awkwardness; I admit that it doesn’t sit in the eye well. But somehow I feel that it suits the piece and what it means.
I am, if anything, relieved to have finished an illustration finally. It’s been nearly eight months since my last. Prints are available in my shop. (I also have mini prints for $5cad/$3.40usd!)

Spring transitions into Summer 🪻 The text reads:
Her era of rain is hushed away in a warm wind, leaving behind glimmering dewdrops on the renewed buds of spring. She graces the blooms from under the weeping willow bower, holding them to her tender breast. Their pinks, purple, and blues are a vivid triumph over her wishful longing and doubt.
Prints are available in my shop!

Winter transitions into Spring 🌷 The text reads:
He wakes, melting snow reveals a robin blushed chest, in his arms he bears a bouquet of sleepy tulips, healing from Winter’s last icy kiss. He forgives his thawed chamber, now nothing more than a pool at the edge of his memory, for its guiding hibernation taught him the true warmth of the sun. (MMXXIII) Hail Spring; his radiance in full bloom.
I've been working on summer, but she isn't ready yet. Hopefully she will be by the end of August! In the meantime though, spring is available as a print in my shop.

Hades Carrying Eros to the Underworld
Inspired by a painting of the same name. (Richard Westall) When i seen the original i felt the concept had… a lot of potential. I’ll leave it to you to search it up, it’s much different than what I’ve imagined. ^^ Prints are available in my shop! In this colour (terracotta) and rose.

Second half of the little paintings I did for my first D&D one shot ^-^ they show the actual spirit of the game much better, silly and lighthearted.
In order: the old tower of tincture field, lord benedic Bennetts grand jousting tournament, the book inside of the old tower with Lady digiornas quest message, the dragon forge, and Lady digiorna !

Little paintings I did for my first d&d one shot- it turned out really fun! Since it was with friends I didn’t feel so pressured about the quality of my art, so even though they aren’t exactly my best they were incredibly fulfilling.. enough that I wanted to share! 💕 the storyline was centred around my knighted imps and was so much silly fun! In order: Chivalrous Death, The Maiden made Crystalline, Sundial puzzle at the crystal temple entrance, and the legendary sword ^-^

Hello! Sorry if you've already posted about this and I missed it, but I was wondering whether you'll eventually be reopening your shop for prints? I missed out on buying anything last time it was open and I'd still love to support that way if the opportunity ever comes again. No worries if not ofc 🩷 have a good day and thank you for making such beautiful art!
Hello 🌷! Sorry for my late response, I took a small break so I closed my shop but I’m back now and have re-opened it 💗
Thank you so much, you’re very sweet! Have a wonderful day!
