SVS Featured student for September

I owe a lot of my growth over the past year to the wonderful teachers and support team over at SVS (Society of Visual Storytelling). I have had a subscription to their online classes since last October and their content is top notch. If you are trying to up your illustration game I highly recommend checking them out! I was lucky enough to receive a feature on their website. My work has been added to the student gallery and they conducted a short interview with me. I'd love for you to check it out!

Instead of picturing the more popular European folk and fairytales, I wanted to make pieces based on North American folktales. In American folktales, subjects are rugged and wild; cowboys, lumberjacks, pirates, and outlaws. At the time the Americas were being settled, the world had a very negative association with witches and magic. Because of this you see much less of a focus on witches and spells. Instead, American folk tales portray people with larger than life personalities and great senses of adventure.
