I’ve always kept a sketchbook with me- usually filling it in the quiet between the work, recording stolen glances on the train, sometimes just noting the significance of ordinary life… it’s always been a patient, peaceful place for me to come back to no matter where I find myself. Recent years have allowed me to explore a bunch of new mediums, and while portraiture will always be my first love, I’ve found so much new joy in sculpting! People, animals, little creatures with big emotions- so far I’ve enjoyed every bit of it.

Doubt Sprout Studio is based in Chicago, Illinois

I am now also producing my own stickers in-house, which has given me so much creative freedom to play and experiment with new ideas! I’ve decided to share that freedom with the creative community by making affordable sticker printing services available, but this may change in 2024 as other needs arise.

Doubts sprout up along our creative path like dandelions in the cracks of the sidewalk; there’s no stopping them, so why not follow their lead and bloom anyway?

When I’m not hunched over my desk with a podcast on, I can be found doing some interpretive lounging with my husband and our two cats, playing video games or watching TV, or sitting alone outside the laundromat getting lost in the vastness of Brandon Sanderson’s worldbuilding. Admittedly, I do spend most of my time creating things, even when I’m resting- I’m never not packing a little art kit when I leave the house, and my favorite way to spend a lazy day is in a sketchbook with some snacks, tucked away in a quiet spot to let the day pass me right on by.
