Houses of the World Illustrated Map in Night

Tiny World

Tiny Worlds: Maps of Imagination
This collection offers a different way to see a map—not as a guide to where we’ve been, but as an invitation to dream where we might go. Each Tiny World begins with a tangle of lines, and then the drawing magic begins. Bit by bit, places and spaces appear, along with the people and creatures who call them home.

I love hiding little treasures throughout—secret objects tucked into corners, waiting to be discovered by curious eyes. These Tiny Worlds are lovingly painted on cold-pressed watercolor paper, each one a story waiting to be explored.

Tiny World Travel Company

Step into the Tiny World Travel Agency—where imagination takes flight.
Tucked inside a dandelion field or perhaps behind a pebble path, this make-believe travel agency is run by the tiniest, most delightful crew. Snails pull miniature campers across mossy roads, butterflies flutter by offering scenic sky tours, and cheerful birds flap in to manage the check-in desks at Featherlight Airlines.

This collection is a playful peek into a world I imagined with my child-like heart wide open—where every creature is kind, every journey is joyful, and magic is always just around the corner.

Watercolor Cottage House with Plants

The Houses on Flora Lane

Flora Lane: The Heart of Tiny World
Flora Lane is the bustling Main Street of Tiny World—a whimsical town where every building has a story, and every window holds a bit of wonder. I’ve started with a handful of unique homes and charming little businesses, each one lovingly imagined and drawn to life.

Flowers bloom wildly behind every rooftop and windowsill, a playful reminder of just how tiny these bungalows truly are. My love for blossoms and small details is tucked into every corner, and the town is always growing—I hope to add at least one new building each month.

Come take a stroll down Flora Lane… there’s always something new to see.

Flora Bunda- Illustrated Gardens

Illustrated Gardens: A Blooming Dreamscape
The gardens in this collection are the ones I’ve always dreamed of having—lush, colorful, and alive with gentle creatures. My love for plants and flowers began when I was just a little girl tending to my very first garden. Since then, I’ve fallen for countless blooms and tended many different plots, each one shaping how I see the world.

These illustrations are a tribute to every flower I’ve adored and every garden I’ve imagined—filled with the plants I long to grow and the tiny beings who might call them home.

Watercolor Bird Migration for Children's Illustration

Birds

For the Love of Birds
What began as a simple challenge quickly became a joyful obsession. In 2023, I stumbled upon Migratory May, an Instagram art project that invites artists to draw a different bird each day. I decided to join in—hoping to get better at drawing birds—and it soon became my creative anchor. I haven’t stopped since.

From Bird Art Weekly to my 100 Day Project (where I completed my own illustrated Bird Life List, now at almost 140), birds have taken flight in my art and my heart. I draw the ones I’ve seen, the ones I hope to see, and even those that may only visit me through imagination.

This collection is a celebration of wings, feathers, flight—and the quiet joy of paying attention to every little detail.

Personal Projects

A Burst of Color and Creativity
This collection is a window into the ideas and inspiration that couldn’t wait to get onto paper. From playful sticker designs to vibrant umbrellas, each piece is an expression of my style and my excitement for life. They’re more than just artwork—they’re the moments and feelings that had to be brought to life, bursting forth in color and joy.
