hey, it's me!

ArtistRhea - Rhea Sanford

Digital Illustrator


Most of my life has been spent in Berwick, a small town in Nova Scotia’s beautiful Annapolis Valley. Growing up here has been a privilege; surrounded by abundant nature and wildlife, I have found endless inspiration for my creativity. As I learn more about the natural world, I am increasingly drawn to it.Living in a small town, I often had to entertain myself, which led me to art. I started drawing on scrap papers, homework, and even walls (sorry Mom!). When I finally got a small drawing tablet, I spent all my free time learning and drawing, a habit that has persisted into my adult life.My creative influences include books, video games, movies, and nature, with a particular love for the fantasy genre. I enjoy bringing fantastical beings like fairies, mermaids, and other woodland creatures to life through art.My artistic journey has been driven by passion and curiosity. Looking ahead, I am excited to see how my art will evolve and how I can share the magic of my imagination with others. My dream is to one day be fully supported by my art, allowing me to keep learning, growing, and creating to my heart’s content.
