Illustrator and pattern designer
June Albright is an illustrator who has spent eleven years drawing animals, pets and city streets, first in gouache and ink and now just as often in Procreate. She sells her work as prints, greeting cards and repeat patterns, and a few of her animal designs are printed for the Striped Cat Studio shop.
She writes the Illustration, Pattern Design and Wall Art sections: drawing technique, building repeats, getting files ready for print, and choosing, framing and hanging art at home.
