Hi! I’m a Senior in Comm Arts: Illustration, and traditional media user such as watercolor, gouache and colored pencils, whose love of nature, horror, fantasy, and fairytales has inspired an interest in making the expected, unexpected. My work represents opposites: light and dark, color and monochrome, hot and cold, natural and man-made, or playful and creepy. I like learning new things, exploring new mediums, and am not afraid to take risks to get a great result in my finished piece.
