Kit Gray never planned to become an artist, but when life necessitated a career change to accommodate her health, she decided to find new opportunities and ways to adapt. With a passion for environmental education and birding, Kit loves to take a scientific illustration approach to creating wildlife, botanical, and pet artwork. She tends to create work she can imagine in a field guide or textbook, with each piece serving as a study of a different species or individual. Pastels help guide this work by lending beautiful colors and soft, yet detailed textures to each new study. Should her style evolve over time, Kit canāt really imagine leaving pastels behind due to their unique characteristics and versatility.
