THE ART OF IVY ALIVE

I'm Ivy Dolamore, a late-20s illustrator living in Appalachia. I spend my days painting on my iPad, traveling to conventions, and running what’s become a small business creating artwork.
I call my presence in the art world "Ivy Alive", because choosing to pursue art seriously as a career and lifelong dedication felt like just that, coming alive.
I create whimsical illustrations and digital paintings with vivid detail and color. My work draws inspiration from nature, fairytales, and old web nostalgia, blending my childhood anime influences with high fantasy.
I hope you enjoy my little worlds. I want to have fun making art for my entire life!

I started taking conventions seriously as the Covid-19 lockdown eased. This was at Soda City Comic Con, 2022
I phased out fanart so I could make my own characters. I debuted the paper-frame backdrop at Holiday Matsuri, 2022
I’ve made a lot of progress since then with more items and displays! Shown here at Animazement, 2025
