I’m so happy to share some artwork I recently created for Shape Magazine. I could not have asked for a better client and end result. The article is so fitting for what I preach on my channel on Instagram. Self Compassion is something we all need to be reminded to be better at.

It feels so fitting. And I’m so grateful to do projects that feel so align with me as a person. Thank you to the Shape Team and Alan, their amazing art director for this opportunity I had to create for their October 2021 issue.

I create my best, when I am not too literal in my approach. I love using symbolism and layers in my work to evoke feelings.

I love how I can bring out more emotions in an illustration, by posing the subject looking off in a thoughtful way. It’s one of my favorite poses.
