CONNECT:
I'm an illustrator, painter, and muralist. I work primarily with gouache and acrylic paints on a small scale but I love taking on larger projects, such as picture books, window displays, and mural installations. I drink black coffee, I have at least one book on my person at any given time, my favorite garden inhabitants are snails and field mice, I adore museums, and my favorite color is yellow.
I currently live and work by the sea in Portland, Maine with my husband, Maxwell and our dog, Ripley.
All Hands Collective was founded in 2018. We are a collective of illustrators based out of Portland, Maine.
