Welcome! I'm Amanda, a Maryland-based nature illustrator creating detailed line and wash art using watercolor and ink. My illustrations highlight the rich biodiversity of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, featuring birds, insects, mammals, and plants native to the Mid-Atlantic region.

On this channel, you'll find art process videos, watercolor timelapses, and insights into traditional illustration techniques and supplies. I share tutorials, sketchbook tours, and behind-the-scenes looks at how I bring each piece to life—from pencil sketch to finished painting.

Whether you're a fellow artist, nature lover, or collector of wildlife art, there's something here for you—along with the occasional gentleman badger.
