I’ve worked with the Girl Scouts several times, but I think this has been my favorite projects to date. Introducing: the Wild Wanderer collection! I designed three patterns to be used across a variety of camp items for girls, including a sleeping bag and pillow, a duffel bag, and a toiletry kit.

In this personal project I illustrated all 12 zodiac signs and paired them with their associated birth flower and a vessel that matched the sign’s attributes. As a double virgo myself, I think I captured that sign accurately! I sell these as prints, birthday cards, and even created a zodiac based calendar with the designs.
That said, my bright-eyed dreams of being a California girl inspire my art from every angle. As a professional photographer I can't bring palm trees and warm sunsets to Virginia in January, but I can let those things play a role in my artwork.
I tend to favor a mix of pastel and bright colors reminiscent of southern California and the 1960s, wildflowers that might have been found in a hippie's flower crown, and lettering that has a little bit of flair to keep it whimsical.
