Summer 2025 Notice: I (Valerie) am currently thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail! I will start taking on custom illustration projects again beginning in October 2025. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to get on the list for then.
About Custom Illustration
When I’m not busy with my own projects, I also offer custom illustration services! My style is suited for projects related to science or nature, such as:
- Scientific publications & outreach
- Interpretive signs and posters
- Children’s educational materials
- Flora/fauna guidebooks
- Textbooks
As an artist with an environmental science background (M.S. & B.S.), I offer visually appealing illustrations with the level of detail and accuracy you need.
I’m excited to work with you! Please view my portfolio and contact me to discuss your project’s needs.
