Kadel says that her art is about getting through tough times and battling with daily obstacles, something that all people can understand. Recently, the artist started adding more character to her drawings to show the importance of other people in overcoming our problems.

“For a long time I drew these very singular images, where there was just one character in a drawing that was facing a challenge. I still do that, but lately I’ve been more attracted to groups of people. There is something more positive to me about depicting a struggle or a scenario, when there is that support system to play off of” Kadel said.

Kadel’s art is influenced by artists such as Shel Silverstein and Maurice Sendak and she mostly uses pen and ink to draw on coffee stained paper.

Take a closer look at her whimsical drawings in the photos below.
