My Sketchbook

Here is some of my personal work, always led by curiosity and wonder. I did most of these for their own sake: portraits, animals, quotes, and locations. I'm sometimes available for personal commissions!

About Vania

Hi! I'm an artist, illustrator, and designer based in Lancaster, PA. Being inspired by the natural world and the beauty of everyday moments, I specialize in designing materials to educate and inspire, usually incorporating illustrated elements. Not only do they make designs more engaging, this also gives me an excuse to basically doodle for a living!
