Some believe masks were a pagan practice to ward off evil spirits, but now they are more worn for anonymity and decoration. Enjoy this tutorial and have fun designing your own decorative mask for any occasion.

  • Paint a Mask in Venice Italy (Illustration and Story by Wanderlust Designer)

    On Location: Spend the Day Painting a Mask in Venice, Italy

    Whenever Carnevale di Venezia time comes around, I always think of the great experience my family and I had in Venice painting our own mask. It was our first trip to Venice, and although we were going to be there during the summer, I could not get the lore of the magical masks worn at Carnival time out of my mind. Before we left on our trip, I did a few searches and was excited to find a place called Ca’Macana in the heart of Venice where they conducted educational classes and mask making workshops. Ca’Macana is one of the oldest mask making workshops in Venice and has a rich tradition of…

I am so proud of all the puzzles I’ve created in I am so proud of all the puzzles I’ve created in the last few years for the fabulous @truesouthpuzzle - I’m realizing I haven’t shared nearly enough of all the fun details that go into creating each of these illustrations. Before I even start illustration I spend many many hours researching the topic. My puzzle designs have taken me to tiny, cool places such as Fancy Gap, Virginia and St Catherine’s Island, Georgia. I’ve researched a crazy number of US landmarks such as the Corn Palace in South Dakota and the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo Texas. I’ve even discovered one of Alaskans’ favorite drinks is a duck fart. I’m currently wrapping up the design of my 12th (!!) puzzle and can’t wait for the reveal. So stay tuned for many more details and be sure to head to @truesouthpuzzle to pick up one of my designs! #puzzles #puzzleillustrator #illustrator #research #fancygap #cadillacranch #duckfart #cornpalace #stcatherinesisland

Happy 2021 everyone!!!! Here’s a little illustra Happy 2021 everyone!!!! Here’s a little illustrated selfie of me doing what I love. I’ve been doing lots of reflection this past week - I’m ready to shed some of that excess anxiousness (hello, pandemic!?!) that has been consuming too much of my time and get back to doing what I love- teaching art , sharing stories, and creating connections. If 2020 taught me anything it’s that friendships (whether in person or virtual) really are everything!  #illustratedselfie #newyear #goals #friendship #illustrator #artistlife #meettheartist
