About Me

I am a newly graduated artist and illustrator with a BFA in Illustration and a minor in Art History from the University of Kansas. Originally from Scottsdale, Arizona, my creative journey has been shaped by a deep curiosity about the past and a love for the fantastical. I’m especially inspired by medieval art, literature, and history, storytelling, and intricate design that continue to inform my visual language. I also draw influence from runway fashion, where fantasy, craftsmanship, and conceptual design intersect in exciting ways.

​

Drawing has been my primary form of expression since childhood, and over the years I’ve explored a range of mediums to bring my ideas to life. My work favors hands-on, tactile approaches, from pen and ink wash, colored pencil, and watercolor to chalk pastels and oil paint. I’m also expanding my skills in animation, with a growing interest in traditionally illustrated movement and visual storytelling.

​

Beyond the visual arts, music especially rock and metal has played a formative role in my creative identity. As a self-taught guitarist, I often find connections between the mood and rhythm of sound and the emotion and structure in my artwork. Video games have also been a major influence, blending world-building, narrative, and design in ways that continue to inspire my goals.

​

As I move forward, I aim to work as a concept artist in the video game or film industry, where I can merge my passion for storytelling, historical aesthetics, and fantastical design. Ultimately, I hope to create immersive visual worlds that captivate and transport others, much like the art, stories, and games that first inspired me.
