Nature // Feminism // Pattern // Illustration // Collage // I came into this world welcomed, unplanned and ready to be raised by a Michigan summer beach cabin; which my dad made our year round home. I grew up around creativity and chaos but I found my quiet place in the rushing waves and neighboring woods that surrounded my home. Nature is a lifestyle to me in every aspect and my art is no different. I draw from my Brazilian heritage and the amazing stories my grandma would tell of her life in the Amazon. I draw from my own childhood memories spanning up to the most recent travels of my woman-natured journey. My design embodies these landscapes and uses the imagery to represent an environment that lives internally in me. I want to give it back to the world that welcomed me here in the first place.
