About

Hey, I’m Camryn a fantasy illustrator, storytelling enthusiast, and a late-blooming creative chaos gremlin with a deep love for whimsy, darkness and all the places those two collide.

I’ve always been crafty, but I didn’t start taking my art serious until my late 20’s, when I finally stopped trying to be someone that I wasn’t. Art found me while I was healing from childhood trauma and working on myself. It has been my anchor, my outlet and my loudest truth ever since. Now I try to use it to help other process hard emotions too, something through shadows, sometimes through softness.

My work is heavily inspired by fantasy books, Dungeons and Dragons, with nods from Studio Ghibli, Pixar and little corners of the internet where artist tell big stories with small images. I aim to make every illustration feel like a still frame from a larger narrative; like you’ve wondered into a scene mid-spell or just before something important is said.

I primarily work digitally in Procreate, Photoshop and Illustrator. Most of my projects start as messy sparks, something I hear in a song or read in a book, then quickly evolve into a chaotic sketch explosion. Once I have the concept down my process becomes slower and more intentional, refining linework, emotion, and environment until the piece finally tells the story I want.

You’ll find my portfolio broken into three categories:

• Gothic/Dark, where grief, tension and magic takes center stage

• Whimsy/Fantasy, where dragons, floating houses and cosmic animals thrive

• Studies, where I get real and practice fundamentals

  Every Piece I make contains a tiny reference or easter egg—whether it’s a nod to a favorite book, a lyric that sparked the concept, or just something quietly weird that only I would notice. It’s my way of staying honest to where the inspiration came from.

  I don’t know if I’ll ever settle into a single art style—and honestly, I don’t want to. I’m building a world through emotion expression and experimentation and if my art makes you feel something, remember something or pause long enough to image what came before or after — then I’ve done my job
