Way back when I was in fashion design school, I was told the “right” way to draw the figure. The “right” way to measure the “perfect proportions,” the “right” color to use for skin, and of course, how to draw the “right” hair and features.
It’s taken a journey of years and experience to realize my freedom from these artificial and limiting constructs. I choose to use the power of my art to represent the LIMITLESS beauty I see in the world. I use my Illustrations to reflect and represent all bodies, all of our fashion and style choices and stories that have been underrepresented for far too long!
Follow me on Instagram and join me on my mission to use the power of the image to honor, affirm and celebrate the perfection in all our authentic and diverse stories.
