Welcome, I am so glad you’re here!
My name is Jackie Nelson, the artist behind the illustrations. After working in the design field several years, I realized I was most enamored with the projects that required illustration - the ones about loved ones that were brimming with nostalgia. Inspired by how relationships and nature color life, I set out to establish an illustration practice focused on celebrating connections, moments of awe, the beauty of flora and fauna, the wonderful and whimsical things about life.
I have long been captivated by paper goods, stationery and love working with classic mediums like watercolor, gouache, colored pencil and acrylics. My favorite mediums are watercolor and pencils, but for the time being I am working mostly in Procreate because it suits mom life exceptionally well! I am always up to something creative in my studio in Boise, Idaho.
When I’m not doodling you’d probably find me spending time with my husband and daughter, reading, writing, trying my hand at gardening, binging a new show, or in some quiet place like a library or book store.
