Her favorite art style is painting, pencil, and Wacom, and her favorite characters are from Disney movies.

When asked about her inspiration, MoonchildinTheSky said: “I have loved drawing since I was a child. If you love what you do, you'll do it right! That's my philosophy! I grew up watching cartoons and reading fairy tales. I love to dream and create cozy scenes that remind me, and hopefully remind others, of that warm feeling of being a child when you are innocent and full of dreams, and everything seems possible, even flying...”
