Question 1: What got you into making graphic design/art?

I went into college majoring in photography and decided about half way thru the first semester that I wanted to pursue graphic design instead. I remember looking at what the juniors and seniors were making at the time and thinking "yeah, I want to make this" and have been ever since. Then I picked up 3D art about a year and a half ago and here we are!

Question 2: What people intrigue or inspire you to pursue visual art?

SO MANY!
Visually: awaiwaiwai, Bryant Nichols, Victor Mosquera, Fredrich Neumann, Justin Maller and Laurie Rowan
Musically: Flume, Interpol, DIIV, Brand New, At the Drive In, Thursday, Tyler the Creator, Vince Staples, Bon Iver, Tycho

........just to name a few.

Question 3: How would you define your style of artwork?

Pastel. Dreamy. Minimal.

Question 4: What do you hope someone will gain out of seeing the art you create? 

Inspiration and/or nostalgia. Maybe even some curiosity to explore the land that the image sits in or floats in! That would be lovely.

Question 5: What is your favorite piece you have created so far?

{ For beatrice } without a doubt. I love love love 'A Series of Unfortunate Events.' My boyfriend and I talk about the books and show semi-often, and one of our conversations sparked this image of loneliness and Lemony waiting for Beatrice and the hope that she would show up. ASOUE was such a staple of my childhood alongside Harry Potter and a few other things, and that's another reason why it's my favorite piece to date.

Question 6: How far do you plan on taking your art? Any future plans or goals you wish to achieve?

As far as I can honestly. I plan on moving into animations because I want to make visuals for artists, or make them AND run them. Making a flower for Flume would be really neat, a banner for the Detroit Zoo or LA Zoo, or frankly, ANY zoo or animal conservation would be cool, handle art direction, so many things! I often wish that sleep was optional because I constantly want to work but what can you do.
