I'm a freelance artist currently based in Blacksburg, Virginia with a focus on illustration, painting, and concept design. I am a Virginia Tech alumna with a BFA - Studio Art concentration and a minor in Professional Sales. My Portfolio > _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ Throughout my academic journey, I developed not only my art skills but also strong communication, organization, and time management abilities. Over the past two years, I served as a peer mentor for incoming freshman art students, an experience that taught me the importance of empathetic communication and adaptability in leadership roles. I also experienced working on a range of group projects in both creative and professional settings through my art and professional sales courses, which increased my confidence in my communicative and collaborative skills. One of my proudest accomplishments was curating and presenting my senior show in the spring of 2023, which included large-scale oil paintings, mixed-media sculpture, and detailed sketches and illustrations. This experience required careful planning and coordination, as I created the artwork and meticulously prepared the exhibition space. I’m very passionate about art's ability to evoke different interpretations, and I find joy in hearing how others see my work through their unique perspectives. I have synesthesia, specifically, chromesthesia, sound-to-color synesthesia where you experience sounds as colors. As a result, I love artwork that utilizes sound and listening to music while I work. My goal as an artist is to create art that viewers can relate to and find solace in. I hope we can work together to turn your ideas into beautiful works of art!
