Artist . Illustrator . Mentor

I’m Charmaine, a pen and ink illustrator and mentor helping artists and illustrators reconnect with their creativity, one confident line at a time.

Art has always been part of who I am. I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil—sketching animals, imaginary worlds, and anything that sparked a sense of wonder.

Hello!
