About Me

Hello! My name is Brooke and I’m an artist based in Columbus, Ohio. I love capturing the inherent beauty in nature and celebrating our everyday experiences with sense of child-like wonder and quirky absurdity. In my work, I strive to elevate the most simple image or story into a delightful dance 
for the imagination.

My experience includes both pen and ink and digital illustrations along with other artistic mediums. I find inspiration in melding the old with a sense of the new. My illustrations have appeared in publications such as Country Journal Magazine, Ohio Magazine, Edible Columbus, New Hampshire Magazine and The Meadow of Blue Hill.

As well as being an accomplished illustrator, I’m an experienced designer of advertisements, logos, magazines, visual family trees, business correspondence, book covers, wine bottle labels and just about anything you can imagine! My illustrations encompass ruminations on the fig to biking in a rainstorm, and my limericks add even more fun to my daily musings.

I’d  love to add my own personal touch to your next project and see you smile. 
Enjoy your time here on my blog!
