Hey! I’m Strela (also known as Bailee).

I’m a Canadian artist who loves creating worlds, creatures, and the stories behind them. I’ve been drawing and making things for as long as I can remember, and that passion continues to drive my work today.

I studied at Sheridan College, where I learned all things art, as well as a bit of the the digital animation and 3D art pipeline. I’m comfortable working across a wide range of digital art programs and workflows. Creatures and monsters are my bread and butter, but I enjoy any project that pushes my creativity.

My work is heavily inspired by biology, evolution, and the natural world. I love designing things that feel like they could truly live and thrive, while still twisting reality into something new. The worlds and creatures I create are deeply important to me, and I put a lot of care and love into every piece.
