BFA Graphic Design; Certificate in Illustration

Time in college has given me the opportunity to learn what I love to create within my artistic practice and where the inspiration is coming from. Graphic design and illustration have both been great portals for me to learn all that I love about the art world, sprouting my own form of creativity that feeds into this wide world of art. These two styles of creating have become a strong partnership within my practice, building up my ability to create pieces based on my own interests from different sources of media in my life. Music, television, movies, etc. have all played a tremendous part in my growth as an artist, and I would like to think they always will. As time goes on, I know I will find new tactics and subjects to base my creativity on, but there is no rush to those times. I want to make the best out of what I have in the present day.
