Greetings,
I am an illustrator and concept artist who spends their time coming up with sketches and ideas for stories, worlds, and characters. I then further develop those ideas into comics or finalized illustrations.
Growing up I was exposed to fantastical worlds in the form of books, movies, and games. At the same time, I was pushed outside to go hike in the woods from time to time. A love for both reality and fantasy, I look to explore both the worlds of the body and of the mind. What does each have to offer each other? I intend to share my findings with my art.
In order to explore, I've started to research about how we perceive our world. My current project, A Light Touch, is about (as the name suggests) light and the sense of touch. A Light Touch takes the concept of a romantic touch and creates a visual narrative based on what physiological and psychological processes might occur while visually exploring the wonder and importance of light.
Recently I have finished the requirements for a B.F.A. in Fine Arts (Painting/Drawing concentration). Now I intend to finish my Japanese Minor by studying abroad in Japan for the 2016-2017 Academic Year. Wish me luck!
