Hi, thanks for visiting!

I’m an illustrator and surface pattern designer based in the small town of Weehawken, NJ near New York City.

Editorial art and greeting cards are my specialties.

I love illustrating food, nature and favorite objects, as well as designing repeat patterns, traveling, yoga and playing with my piebald polydactyl kitty, Cowgirl.

In my travels I’ve picked up a bunch of eclectic vintage furniture, clothes and accessories which pop up sometimes in my illos. Since I enjoy cooking too, I’ve made lots of illustrated recipes which appear on the website They Draw (formerly They Draw And Cook) and I would love to illustrate a cookbook!

I started out as a printmaker at Tyler School of Art, then became a textile designer in New York, painting on silk for the women’s apparel industry. My niche was “conversationals”, and I created a lot of fun pajama designs featuring things like coffee cups, donuts, dogs, etc. It’s kind of what I’ve stayed with. So much fun to draw! You can find my current collection of surface pattern designs on Spoonflower. It gives me great pleasure to sew things, like bags and decorative bowls, with my own fabric.

As a first-generation Ukrainian American, I have a deep love for my family’s culture and heritage. The folklore, textiles, imagery and food of Ukraine inform a lot of my visual vocabulary.

My work is created mostly digitally, in Procreate, but I also use traditional mediums like watercolor and gouache.

Clients I've worked with include:  Camp North End, Design House Greetings, Amber Lotus Publishing, Edible Jersey, Flow, Metro, Inc., Fox Chase Magazine and Temple Health magazine.

I’m available for art licensing, custom commissions, freelance projects and agency representation.
