Watercolor artist and painter painting a watercolour work of Portland, Maine. It is the Cape Elizabeth lighthouse. Ocean view with blue sky, snow, at sunset.

Portland, OR based live portrait illustrator and painter

Hi! I’m Tori. I was born in Portland, Oregon and raised in the Tigard/King City area, so I have a special love for the PNW. I grew up making little stories in stapled books which developed into a passion for making comics and paintings, then further propelled me to study fine art at Southern Oregon University.

I’ve done various freelance and commission work over the years, and recently discovered an affinity for fast and cute live portrait drawing.

Follow my instagram to see when I’ll be popping up at markets. Contact me to hire me for your event or my other art services!
