Based in the picturesque landscapes of Wisconsin, I am a seasoned freelance artist with a unique blend of skills honed from my background as a former graphic designer. My artistic journey is characterized by a profound appreciation for nature, reflected in every stroke of my pencil, pen, and ink. With a keen eye for detail and a boundless well of creativity, I bring a distinctive touch to my work that sets it apart.
Collaboration is at the heart of my process. Patient and attentive, I pride myself on understanding and meeting the specific needs of my clients. My experience spans a wide range, from crafting enchanting illustrations for children’s books to designing captivating book covers, T-shirts, advertisements, editorials, and posters. Utilizing a seamless fusion of traditional methods like watercolor alongside digital techniques, I strive to create visuals that not only meet but exceed expectations.
Driven by a genuine passion for my craft, I am a self-motivated artist who takes immense pride in each project undertaken. If you’re seeking a dedicated and versatile illustrator who can breathe life into your ideas, let’s embark on a creative journey together. I am always open to new challenges and look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can turn your vision into a stunning visual reality.

Children’s book Eye To Eye, Heart To Heart

Joan Zander Millard illustrated my childrens book, Eye to Eye, Heart to Heart. She is an amazingly talented and gifted artist, who continually challenges herself to even better and more beautiful works of art with each new piece. She is extremely collaborative to work with, listens intently to what you want to accomplish, and is committed to her finest each time. I highly recommend Joan, Zeee Arts, for any artwork you want or need for your project. I am so proud of my book...because she helps tell my story through her art.
