Hi there, I'm Kara! (they/them)

I'm an illustrator and designer who is focused on telling deep, personal stories through traditional and digital media. My work themes that society tends to shy away from, inviting reflection, conversation and connection. Through observing the little things overlooked by others in daily life, I draw inspiration from human behavior, the interactions between people and objects, and the profound influence of nature on these dynamics.

The juxtaposition of serious themes and playful imagery often plays an important role in my work, expressing the constant balance between optimism and struggle.

You can find me through my sobriquet, (the) Cheerful Hermit! I’m floating around on social media and Youtube.
