Well hello there! I’m Van.
I can’t remember a time where I didn’t love to draw. I studied Communication Design at the University of North Texas and spent a few years as a graphic designer for the branding and advertising group El Creative in Dallas. In 2014 I decided to switch gears and pursue more illustration focused projects and went into product design for a crafting company.
During my free time I like to work on my personal art projects and illustration commissions. My favorite traditional mediums are watercolor, ink and gouache, however, most of my recent work has been digital illustration. My other passions include surface pattern design and hand-lettering. Eventually I hope to pursue more work in the surface design and art licensing industry. Currently I offer digital art resources on my online shop.
I live in Dallas with my boyfriend Michael and two adorable but mischievous tabby cats Sushi and Nori.
