On this page you can explore artworks I created using a variety of mediums such as ink, gouache paint, watercolor and pencil, for book illustrations, book covers, D&D characters and creatures. Some illustrations are based on creatures, characters, and settings from my written short stories The Polkadot Files.

In 2025 I also began plein air painting and creating still life studies to improve my skills in observation and color.

Tatyana, Commissioned a Fantasy Map

Working with Kiara on my map commission was an absolute joy! She was so fun and easy to collaborate with, and incredibly patient as I fumbled through trying to describe exactly what I envisioned. And let me tell you, she DELIVERED! The turnaround time was also impressively fast. I love her artwork , and the final map is even better than I imagined. I will be commissioning Kiara again in the future - highly recommend!
