I am a toronto based illustrator who loves to experiment with craft in illustration. At the moment I’m having fun exploring the endless possibilities of embroidery!

I’m a big fan of Ruth Wang who is also from Toronto BTW. I love her simple style and her use of texture and mixed media. Her linework reminds me Egon Schiele which I adore!
