Thank you! I wouldn't be an artist without her, so this felt like the most natural piece in the world to make. I'm very glad that it resonates with so many other people as well!

Thank you so much!

It was important for me to make sure that people know there are more things to fear from mushrooms than just a zombie-apocalypse scenario.

I love seeing everyone's different takes on the Fungril ancestry. Jen is always incredible!

Card for the game Daggerheart. A mirror is shattering, reflecting a frog character turning into a human character. Their eyes glow gold.

So happy to share one of my personal favourites painted for #Daggerheart!

This was super fun to paint! Thank you for this assignment 💖

Card artwork for the game Daggerheart. A gnome wizard is manipulating waves of magic, making rocks float and forminga huge golem.

Reposting my absolute favourite artwork painted for #Daggerheart!

Book of Exota
AD: Leesha Hannigan

It was an absolute delight to paint all these waves of magic. Would love to paint more pieces like this!

Some of you have already spotted my name in the credits of #Daggerheart but this time, it's not map related! I'm honored to have been a consultant on this project and wrote a section that helps with developing blind/VI characters! It means a lot to have the accessibility baked into the core game.

A warrior woman with enormous wings backlit by the sun, wearing armor and a long flowing drapery thing that was extremely hard to draw even after I figured out I could use tissue paper and an art mannequin as reference

I illustrated the Winged Sentinel (Seraph) subclass for Darrington Press's #Daggerheart!

I was humbled to work with Leesha Hannigan as my Art Director @leeshahannigan.bsky.social

And I appear in the book next to Jenny's Divine Wielder ✨🗡️ so go check hers out as well!

Painting of a lilac-skinned orc woman standing in a field of poppies at sunset. She is brandishing two scimitars and carries many more weapons besides: bow, quiver, halberd, dagger. Her stance is ready and eager and she has a challenging smile as if ready for anything. The wind blows in her wavy green hair and sends petals through the scene

It's #daggerheart day! I can finally show my painting! 🥳

I nicknamed her Poppy for obvious reasons and I love her very much 🥺❤️ It was an honour to work on this!

So excited for this release! Happy #Daggerheart day!

As a long time critter, this card was an absolute delight to illustrate.

I thought I'd put it out there - I am currently on the lookout for Art Direction roles! I have AD'd two large RPG projects, Humblewood and Daggerheart, and would love to continue working in the TTRPG space. ♥️

It's Daggerheart's official release, and I get to finally show what all I worked on with Darrington Press last year!

This one was a love letter to my partner. :)

As fun as it is to paint combat and chaos, I love painting the peaceful parts of life too.

Nara (Elf), Prax (cute lil fella), and Tuck (Her Royal Feline-ness), have been inseparable for years. Between training and schoolwork, they always seem to find time for goofing off.
