I graduated from MICA with a BFA in Illustration in 2013; My time there had allowed me to build my knowledge and skills of many artistic media, including digital concept art, game design, ceramics, as well as a general training in many classic fine arts (painting, drawing, etc.).
Through my graphic design day job I have gained 11+ years of experience creating and overseeing technical vector graphics (i.e. charts, bar graphs, maps, molecule diagrams, sequential picture prompts, etc.) for educational assessments taken nationally and internationally.
Besides art I have always had a great love of plant and animal sciences, and I am trying to work toward more sustainable and regenerative practices in my home and garden. I find great joy spending time in my garden and hanging out with my chickens. I find things like restoring the American Chestnut population and saving true garlic seeds exciting. I like to dabble in a number of other small hobbies as well, such as woodworking and creating paper-mache animal sculptures, which can be purchased from my Etsy shop.
