Myrtle Beach, SC
I was born and raised in Monroe, CT. I studied Illustration at the 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. I have worked as a freelance illustrator on a large variety of projects, never really settling into one niche. I enjoy a challenge, and there are some briefs that art school can't prepare you for. In 2019, I decided to expand my repertoire of knowledge to a previously unknown area; fine art. I got a job at a small art gallery, where I learned about fine art publications and sales. The experience of working around such beautiful pieces inspired me to paint again, something I hadn't done since high school. I am heavily inspired by nature. My background as an illustrator is definitely apparent in my paintings, as many appear to almost breach the realm of Fantasy Art.
