Art inspired by Poems

Today I want to share with you some sketches I’ve done recently. These drawings are actually inspired by poems that my Aunt, Tamera Rickman, wrote. She’s an author and has a couple of books published, which I painted some custom tote bags for last year.

I love reading and I love art, so you combine the two and I love it even more. Creating art inspired by books or poems is a really fun thing to do.

My Aunt asked me if I would be interested in illustrating a few of her poems, so of course I said yes. The poems are all about “elemental girls”. They’re beautiful, and they were just begging to be illustrated!
