I am a student in a four year illustration program.

I started drawing in preschool, and I’ve never stopped. My interests are illustration, animation, textiles, mixed media. I also have an interest in writing, especially storytelling.

A lot of my artwork started as self-taught, however in addition to art classes in high school and I’ve also taken extension classes in woodworking, basket making, Shibori Japanese fabric techniques, stained and fused glass, and sewing. And I’ve taken online illustration and animation extension classes at the Rhode Island School of Design.

Some of my influences are the illustrations of Richard Scarry along with Tove Janssen, Elsa Beskow and plates from Lewis Carroll books, in Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. I also love looking through the art of M. C. Escher and Junji Ito. For animation, I take inspiration from Amanita Design games, especially Botanicula, and from Cartoon Saloon films such as The Secret of Kells and Wolf Walkers.
