Merida's always working on something new!

I have a passion for making massive pencil and ink drawings. I film the entire process, and upload the videos on this website and on YouTube @merida-creates. I also write and illustrate children's books, and co-author The Tapestry Tales novel series. And check out my blog about participating in endurance events.
