I've lived on both coasts of the US, but am currently in California since the pandemic. In my spare time I like to dance goofily, play guitar, and go on road trips. I studied at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) for illustration and began aiming more toward concept art towards the end of my time there. I've taken a few online courses for environment art that I didn't need in my degree program, and have otherwise started supplementing my education that way. I've since done freelance illustrating and various part time jobs that involved art, including mural painting and teaching drawing. It gave me a comprehensive sense of my drawing skill range, and pushed me to build my 3D skills and environment skills more specifically.
