My name is Elia

Hello!

I'm the face and owner of Busy Beetle Studio!

I’m a natural Science Illustrator based in Grand Rapids. I have a deep love for nature, educational art, old storybooks, and finding fun ways to combine all of those things into my work! I love to create illustrations that are not only visually interesting but also scientifically accurate. I experiment with many different mediums, styles, and subjects because its just too much fun not to when the inspiration hits!

I have a BFA from Kendall College of Art and Design with a background in illustration, a minor in Digital Art and Design, and a certificate in natural science illustration.

 I am always updating my online shop, so check back soon for new drops! You can also find my work being sold at the retail shop, The Spark, located in downtown Grand Rapids, MI
