Having spent much of my time in the last few years indoors (like so many others), I was really excited to have this opportunity to work with Canadian Wildlife Magazine and illustrate an article about the importance of outdoor learning.

Art Director: Steven Balaban

Nature for Mental Health


Left: Building Earth Stewards, Right: Overcoming Barriers

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Art Director Steven Balaban. You can see that my initial sketches strived to celebrate so much I love about the outdoors (which we carefully refined into the images above 😅️).
