This year I actually felt like I needed a break during the holidays. November and December were extremely busy with deadlines, getting ready for the Fat Goose Craft Fair with our Every Chip Stand project, and sewing for a costuming event. I’m happy with the illustrations I churned out this year but feel like it’s not a lot to show for 365 days.

Here is a gallery of pretty much everything I drew this year, either for editorial clients, or gifts for family, or plein-air in England or for Every Chip Stand. At the end, enjoy a few of my costuming projects.

I illustrated a portrait of Ruth “Rootitoot” McCusker for Chatelaine magazine. Ruth was an Instant Pot guru who recently passed away. I learned a lot about Instant Pots while researching items for the background. I’ve never used one, but a lot of people are passionate about them…and apparently you can make cheesecakes in them!
