Back Story:
Though I enjoy exploring ideas using traditional materials (mostly graphite, chalk pastel, colored pencils, markers or watercolors), I fell in love with digital art (via programs like Illustrator, Sketchbook, and Photoshop) before I had ever painted a real canvas with acrylic or oil-based paints. The deepened appreciation I gained for the arts in my early 20s gave me a strong desire to create and a hope that everyone I knew would also "see why" art is such a powerful tool and resource, and why it was one thing that I truly began to value.
Years of experimental learning led to various artist experiences within my community and creative positions at Time For Art, LLC and Wine and Design - including instructing classes and workshops as well as partnering and co-facilitating networking opportunities and events. Now, I am focused on improving my public and digital artwork/illustration/graphic design portfolio, typography skills, and Cricut crafts while I work full-time for a company to serve clients with residential and commercial signage needs. It is a great transition from the custom pieces I made that commemorated or were a part of special occasions.
