Hire the Best Arts & Crafts Specialists
in the United States

I am a native English speaker. I attended college at Indiana University Bloomington studying animal behavior. I am creative, task oriented, and driven to help people. I enjoy crocheting and have experience pattern testing unpublished crochet patterns and providing feedback to the designer. I have a lot of volunteer experience, especially with working with animals.

I am an experienced educator and textile artist. I love working with my hands and I am a quick learner.

I am a Virtual Assistant and Artist. My experience in virtual assisting includes, responding to emails, creating templates, creating and editing logos and photos, etc. As an artist I am self-taught, specializing in digital works, stained glass, acrylics on canvas, and watercolor on paper. I also do many types of arts & crafts, hand embroidery, handmade buttons, stickers, and party decor. I create templates for clients who do laser engraving. I have converted images and handwriting to files that are suitable for their laser engraving software

I'm an artist, illustrator, author/illustrator and fine artist from St. Louis, Missouri. I have illustrated children's picture books, children's early readers and middle grade children's books in addition to writing and illustrating my own books.  You can view more of my art, illustrations and books on my website.   I have illustrated for the following publishers:  Pearson Educational Library, Clear Fork Publishing, Elk Lake Publishing, 4RV Publishing, Mascot Publishing, MacLaren-Cochrane Publishing, Brandylane Publishing, Upwork clients and private clients. I'm also a fine art artist with over 30 years' experience painting portraits, landscapes and seascapes in watercolor, pencil and oils for exhibition and private clients. Many of these paintings/drawings are shown on my website. My artistic style for illustrations can vary from realistic to whimsical.  Watercolor is my most used medium but I have experience with pencil, colored pencil, ink, acrylic, oil and digital. I also have experience designing and formatting children's and middle grade books. I use Adobe InDesign to select fonts, design the interior and cover of the book, and format the book.

Passionate Visual Designer with a background in business, illustration and design. Worked as a marketing and design manager, freelance illustrator, graphic designer for a family owned studio, creative instructor, and tour assistant for Van Gogh Museum Pop Up. Skilled in Adobe Suite, Sketch, Microsoft Office, Procreate, MailChimp and business social media presence.

I specialize in providing exceptional artistry, writing, and editing services. I have always been a detail oriented person, but my combined experiences working in both animal care and administrative assistance have allowed me to let this skill thrive. Handling both live, treasured pets and the confidential information of patients at a mental health facility are two ways that I learned to demonstrate the utmost care for those I serve. Aside from work, I have always loved and been a talented artist. While I specialize in drawing, painting, and needlework, I enjoy working with multiple other mediums, such as ceramics, woodworking, and jewelry making. I am your go-to for a little bit of everything that you may need, and I guarantee passion and genuine care for your projects.
