I’m Sierra, a full-time artist, illustrator, and designer based in Maryland.

I create original, hand-illustrated work rooted in the feeling of home – not just as a place, but as a feeling shaped by joy and comfort. At its core, my work celebrates everyday moments, thoughtful living, and the joy found in ordinary spaces and stories.

I work out of an upstairs studio in my shop where I run my full-time illustration practice and shop. Most days, I’m working at a refurbished desk near a window that overlooks pine trees in our yard with lots of natural light – illustrating, painting, writing, and planning my next project.

My style is a mix of warm, playful, and human. I’m inspired by color, texture, music, and the changing seasons. Recurring themes in my work include home and living, travel, food, and meaningful celebrations. My practice spans from art licensing, freelance illustration and design, collaborative projects, to wholesale partnerships. And no matter the project, I love to help bring ideas to life that are intended to be held, displayed, lived with, or loved.
