“While I recognize the necessity for a basis of observed reality...true art lies in a reality that is felt.” - Odilon Redon
The Creative Process:
After the birth of my daughter I found myself lost and disoriented, needing to reaffirm my identity, as a human, as an artist, as me. I found solace in children’s books, as the lofty and seemingly unattainable walls of the museum faded away and the bright and tangible books that I shared with my daughter fueled me. I became a children’s book lover, searching libraries and bookstores, blogs and websites for the next great story to read with my children. And so continues my love of stories.
About Veronica
Inspire, Illustration by Veronica Flinn
As a teen I found refuge behind the closed doors of drawing rooms, trying desperately to make sense of the figure with a piece of charcoal on my paper. I earned my BFA at the U of O in Painting, because there was no drawing major. I work as a graphic designer by day and illustrator by night.
My family supports and informs my work daily. Our team consists of my loving husband, my sweet 9 year old daughter, my sunshine 1.5 year old son, and our furry friends, the dog and cat.
