Back Story:
It all started with what felt like the biggest failure I would ever deal with in my life. I began painting during a scheduled college break and again shortly after graduation while in a period of nonstop job searching, no longer sure of what I truly aspired to choose for my career. I came to North Carolina from Delaware for what I thought would be a brief stay. Being in a new city, I often met new people and the nickname "See Why/CY" soon became an alias because of my Twitter handle at the time, @seewhyNELSA- stemming from the makeup of my first name. Drawing and painting helped me get away from the pressures of finding employment before my pay-back-student-debt grace period ended, as well as get in touch and confront personal challenges I faced. I really enjoyed using traditional materials (graphite, pastel, and colored pencils) then eventually fell in love with digital art (Illustrator, Sketchbook, and Photoshop) before painting with acrylic, watercolor and oil. This enjoyment has become my inspiration for sharing the power and importance of art with others.
Years of experimental learning led to various artist experiences within my community and positions at Time For Art, LLC and Wine and Design, as well as being a featured artist at J. Cardinal Events' 1K Words. I instructed countless classes and workshops, led events, and worked with TYPE USA to facilitate creative networking opportunities called Canvas Creations. From there, I slowed down on painting and freelance gigs and moved on to serving clients seeking custom chalk lettering, to where I am now - studying typography and creating digital art, stickers, illustrations and lettering as time permits!
