Story behind Nancy S Miller Illustration.

My name is Nancy Miller and I'm an illustrator that lives in Savannah, GA. I've been working as visual arts teacher for the past 9 yrs. I currently teach animation and game design at the high school level. On nights and weekends is when I've been working on my picture book illustrations. I decided I'd love to craft my work for stationery and gift items. I'm inspired by nature, animals, and hand lettering. I originally opened my shop in 2010, but was only buying the wonderful things from other Etsy creators. I decided 2018 that I would try and sell some of my own illustrations and designs. I'm alittle late to the party.

My little family helps me with my process of working on sketches. My son and hubby always provide a second pair of eyes. My husband also helps proofread. I start with my sketches for planning out my work, and then work on making more crafted drawings. I use Faber-Castell line of ink pens to outline my work. I scan in my line art into the computer and use my Wacom tablet to fill in with color. Some days, I'll skip the computer and go straight into watercolors. I love the feel of paper and how my brush twirls and plays in the watercolors.

I hope you will enjoy viewing the work in my shop. You can see more of my art and process on my website or on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/messy_art_teacher/
