Myrtle Beach, SC
I was born and raised in Monroe, CT.
I studied Illustration at University of the Arts London. Although I gladly would've lived in the UK forever, I came back to the US after completing my Degree.
I moved to Myrtle Beach, SC. The old idiom of the "starving artist" didn't mean much here. In a tourist town, you can always BANK on caricatures...pun intended. I currently have 6 years of caricaturing experience.
I have worked as a freelance illustrator since graduating UAL on a large variety of projects, never really settling into one niche. I enjoy a challenge, and there's some projects that art school can't prepare you for.
In 2019, I decided to expand my knowledge to a previously unknown area; fine art. I got a job at a small art gallery, where I've learned about fine art publication and sale.. The experience of working around such beautiful pieces inspired me to paint again, something I hadn't done since high school.
Lastly , I am also a new mom!
