hello!

i’m glad you’re here. allow me to introduce myself. i’m a Vermont, USA., based freelance artist and illustrator. i use she/her pronouns. much of my art takes inspirations from my nightmares - i suffer from both nightmare disorder and night terrors, and while these disorders have significantly negative impacts on my physical wellbeing, such as loss of sleep, they also fuel my creative energy. i vividly remember my nightmares and dreamscapes, where all five of my senses are fully functioning even in deep slumber, and my soul has boundless, infinite freedom to wreak havoc on my synapses as it sees fit.

i don’t seek to interpret the soul’s musings. i seek to show its message to the world.

i’ve been drawn to “creation” since i was little. i wanted to put my hands on everything, all the time, whatever it was. building mud castles with pebble moats at the lakeshore with my father, painting maple trees and acorns with watercolor pencils next to my mother, covering our bathroom walls with crayon doodles (oops). when i went to school, i quickly learned i was a kinesthetic learner. i have to be doing something with my hands to absorb and learn information. i became a well-known serial doodler throughout grade school, graffitiing damning forensic evidence all over my scrap notebooks and formal exams indistinguishably.

in college, i began to sharpen my art skills in pencil & ink portraits and sketches. a mere two years after graduating, i took up color art and threw myself into learning everything i could about color theory and watercolor paint (thank you to my wonderful mom who started me out on watercolor oh so many years ago as a young girl…something something about going back to your roots). 2021 saw the introduction of digital art to my portfolio, widening my creative potential even farther. my heart rests with sketches and watercolor, but digital art is swiftly becoming one of my favorites.

i am on a mission to share with the world whatever it is that is my soul is trying so hard to get out of my skull. i am open minded and eager to see what’s to come.
