Commissioned & Gifted Art

The art below is by talented artists and friends who have created their interpretations of my characters! Flowerheart has been in my head since about 2017, and there have been changes to character design and the story since then.

So if some of the characters look different from how they’re described in the book, that’s why!

Lastly, if you’ve made Flowerheart art you want me to see, you can reach me at my contact form or find me on Instagram at @catbake!
