HELLO THERE...

MY NAME IS GRETCHEN ELLEN POWERS.

I'm an artist and illustrator residing among the tall trees of Michigan.

I love that through painting and sketching I can share my dreams with those around me! Through my work I enjoy lassoing characters from my imagination and cradling them in all of the everyday good things. There's always a bee in my bonnet, and I'm merely in the constant pursuit of capturing it.

I draw inspiration from nature and everyday living around me. I enjoy combining realism with the surreal, to merge the heart with the mind.

IT IS MY GREATEST HOPE TO TELL A STORY THROUGH MY BRUSH.
