Hello! I’m Crystal, an illustrator, traveller, amateur hoarder, and plant-lover. I’m the daughter of a lighthouse keeper and started life on a tiny island in the middle of the ocean, where groceries were delivered by helicopter and trips to town meant riding with the Coast Guard.
I’m still an island girl —just on a bigger island now— off the coast of BC Canada.
I have a BFA in Visual Arts and have illustrated children's books, created environmental work for non-profits, and paint wildlife fine art originals.
My favourite things include anything neon, curiosity cabinets, street food, and incredibly kitschy sparkle crafts.
I illustrate bright worlds to spark
curiosity & wonder.
