ARTIST STATS!

i've been drawing since kindergarten

my first art related memory is being paired with a fifth grade buddy as a part of that reading buddy program that a lot of schools did, but instead of reading i wanted to draw. i got hyped up by all these fifth graders and i was like 'wow, i guess i am really good at drawing'. when i got into fifth grade, i realized they were probably just being nice because i was literally five years old but kindergarten me definitely ran with that hype so i've been doing art ever since

i've worked in ceramics, glass, illustration, video-making & graphic design

but my favorite so far is graphic design :-)

next, i'd like to work in printmaking & clothing design

i take inspiration from music & writing

a lot of my work is based on either others' lyrics or my own writing!

my next artistic goal is to be able to table/sell my prints!

a few of my inspirations are kel lauren, anna koblish, and jenny holzer (always)
