Chipmunk
My affection for these tiny bundles of fluff stretches back to childhood, woven into memories of summer camping trips. Inevitably, the chipmunks never failed to appear—hopeful, wide-eyed, perched on a nearby rock or, if you were lucky, scampering up your leg, all in pursuit of a peanut. Even now, chipmunks continue to find their way…
Great Blue Heron
Camping has been a part of my life ever since my parents introduced me to it as a kid, and it’s a tradition I’ve carried on with my own children. One of my favorite moments on the hiking trails is spotting the Great Blue Heron. It’s such a joy to draw, from the bright colours…
Otters
Nothing warms the heart quite like a pair of cuddly otters! I loved working on this piece; there are so many colours involved just to create “brown” otters. I think most people would be surprised by how much purple I used in this piece.

Racoon
As an artist, I enjoy challenging myself by exploring new techniques and subject matter. It started with fur, feathers, then small branches were added in. The next logical step after small branches would be the trunk of a tree, shouldn’t be too tough right?Ha Ha!But once again, it pays to persevere and trust you will…

Wolf
Finally, after a long journey from selecting the perfect photo reference to framing the final product, my wolf drawing is complete! I enjoyed every moment of this process, but my favorite part was perfecting his fluffy ears. It took a lot of micro eraser and blade work to achieve the soft and fluffy look, but…
