Amber Walsh

Amber Walsh is a zany zoology buff turned illustrator with her feet on the ground and head in the clouds. She’s an Ontario-based bird nerd and volunteer scat-scrubber for her local raptor centre that would do anything to promote wildlife preservation. She also voraciously consumes fantasy content in all its forms and often finds herself drawn to other worlds entirely, passport impending. She loves getting geeky and consolidates her loves in her detailed, painterly illustrations with lighting-focused colour.

The Journey
