Not loving this one as much as yesterday's but I guess that's how daily drawing projects go!

A girl in a one piece swimsuit and a dolphin hold hands and float on their backs in a seafoam green ocean.

A favorite page from Diana and the Dolphin. "The ocean ebbed and flowed, like breathing, in and out."

Late summer adventures. I loved running through tall grass as a kid, feeling like I could hide and pop out at any minute, like I was part of the landscape. As an adult I just try not to think of the ticks 🫣🫣

I loved drawing this sweet commission for an old friend! A portrait of their family out for a bike ride surrounded by the mountains and flowers of Trentino, Italy.

Photo of Chamisa, white woman in her 30s with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a blue and brown plaid shirt in her art studio.

Illustration of a female body immersed in soil, her head sticking out and smiling, plants sprouting from her head, hair and hands.

Hi Bluesky! I'm Chamisa, an illustrator/author based in Portland, Oregon. I make picture books, graphic novels and surface pattern design, all with my signature whimsy and wonder.

Here's a self portrait inspired by my love of botany and gardening 🌿
