I’m a mixed-media illustrator and designer for books and editorial publications, as well as a writer, mom! and the creative director for BynBeary.com. Following a curiosity for working with my hands, I studied fine art painting before switching to illustration at Ringling College of Art & Design. There I also studied other practices like graphic design and printmaking. My work has been published in magazines across the US and Canada and featured in books, home decór, packaging, brand designs, and apparel. My art style has become recognized for its color harmony, lovable character designs, tiny details, and textured warmth.

I’ve had the great honor of exhibiting in celebrated venues such as The Ringling Museum of Art, the international and critically acclaimed SCOPE Miami, and many more. In 2008 I received the Best of Ringling scholarship award for painting. The arts helped me get through difficult years and has added an infinite source of peace and joy in my life. I hope that my work brings joy into the lives of others and hopefully inspires them to explore the mental and emotional healing a personal creative practice brings.
