Hello, I’m Terri, an illustrator, picture book maker and graphic designer living in Verona, WI. I’m obsessed with drawing, especially themes in nature. I love storytelling, illustrating animals and silly characters with watercolor and colored pencils.

I love to draw so I practice all the time. I have shelves of sketchbooks filled with illustrations, characters, vignettes, drawings, paintings, doodles and ideas. I love to create nature illustrations, animal art, surface pattern collections, silly character portraits, maps and hand lettering.

I have a degree in graphic design and illustration and I’m well-versed in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Procreate. I have a day job so I’ve been focusing on traditional illustrations lately to get a break from the computer.

My creative work is inspired by my adventures in nature, my love for my park-inspired backyard, and a wanderlust for exploring the outdoors. I enjoy hiking in the woods, kayaking, swimming in the ocean and hanging out on my hammock watching the birds and squirrel shenanigans. I always have a close eye out for the elusive and adorable little red fox who hangs out in my yard occasionally.

My illustration style is playful and expressive with a whimsical flair.
