Art has always been my first love. It wasn't until my high school art teacher pulled me aside to talk to me about art as a career that I realized I could be an artist professionally. That push eventually led me to pursue my Bachelors in Fine Arts with a focus in Illustration from the American Academy of Art located in downtown Chicago (2013) . I see myself as a "Jill Of All Trades" as I can work in both the clean-digital-design and the loose-painterly-traditional art worlds.
My Mediums

My Background
I am both a painter and a designer. I am proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite and consider myself an Illustrator and Photoshop wizard. Traditionally I love to paint with acrylics, watercolors and inks. I also like to do mixed media pieces from time to time. Wherever my inspiration leads me, I follow.

My Inspiration
I am constantly inspired by the silly little children's books I read with my daughter, the haunting paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, and the strong female empowerment you see in Frida Kahlo's art. I love beautiful bright colors and also the dark and macabre, I find myself most successful when I am able to use both. A lot of my own personal work is viewed as both colorful and dark.
