Biography

BFA Illustration Senior at the Academy of Art University. I am studying Full Illustration/ Narrative and Graphic Novel art/ Concept Art/ Advanced writing. Aside from school I also help enhance our online student communities, namely Drawaholic's Anonymous which is dedicated to working in tandem with student degrees on skill building. I also mentor in several of them, assisting in administration when needed. When I finish school I plan on generating IPs, whether that is my own I have been generating through homework or another's IP- I enjoy simply bringing ideas to life in a cohesive way so audiences can get enthralled in universes! Hence why my degree is multi-faceted! I am also a mother of a 12 year old who watches my progress avidly! He doesn't quite know what he wants to do yet, but what ever it is he knows he wants to go to a trade school after high school as well! I also tend to nerd-out quite often over several things, new or long loved, and tend to understand business aspects of events. Life is an adventure! And I plan on making sure it doesn't stop when I graduate... A new one begins!
