About Skye :

Hello! My name is Skye Ehlert and I'm a Chinese American Illustrator based in Virginia! 

I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BFA in illustration from the Maryland Institute College of Art. I specialize in color, environments, lighting, nature, and animals. I have a passion for telling and creating stories, especially about my cat, Sweet Pea! I love creating immersive, colorful worlds that build new connections and memories that we can all relate to. Mostly, I love to bring and spread joy through the connection of art!

I have worked as an illustrator and designer for entertainment advertising, working with clients that include, Netflix, Disney Plus, and Apple TV, and University creative marketing production for the Maryland Institute College of Art.
