Elizabeth V. - 15708 Scientific Illustrator from Pickering

I was born in 1994 with a moderate-severe hearing loss, and I wear hearing aids. I explore and reflect on children's literature and fairy tales, colours, shapes, personal experiences, nature, magic, fantasy, monsters, wish fulfillment, imagination,and inspiration from other artists and media. All these ideas interlace into characters, visual storytelling, and written storytelling intended to inspire, relate, and entertain. They are created in a collaboration of traditional and digital means, with the final product achieved in a flattened surface of traditional material or digital screen. In my work I seek to have a diverse and personal storytelling that can inspire and entertain others to create and relate to stories and characters. I seek to enjoy the process in creating the work and to experiment with different media to have a desired or unexpected outcome that can delight not just me but others as well. I hope to inspire others to create their stories that they wanted to see.
