Hi! I’m Tilda.

I’m a Canberra-based illustrator who plays across traditional and digital mediums. With a background in design and environmental science, I love exploring texture, colour and nature.

I won the 2023 CYA aspiring illustrator competition, and can often be found participating in local art markets or doing live portrait sketching. 

I’m currently undertaking illustration work in environmental science communication for organisations including the Mulloon Institute, the Australian National Botanic Gardens, and most recently Questacon’s new children’s space.
