A Little About Myself
I started drawing since I could hold a pencil. I took art classes through school and knew I wanted an art career someday. I earned an Associate's Degree in Computer Animation at Baker College of Auburn Hills, Michigan in 2014. Being able to make my drawings and ideas come to life is a dream come true for me. I am currently a freelance artist and animator on Upwork. I love getting to be creative and help others with their projects.
I create mostly digital 2D art, but I love to play with different programs, mediums, and styles. My style is very cartoon-like and cute (the cuter the better!). I fell in love with kawaii and chibi art styles from watching Hamtaro, Pokemon and Sailor Moon. Hello Kitty was also a big inspiration for me. I am inspired by artists that draw similar cute, fun characters and animals. I also like pop art and fun, bright colors.
The software I use most often are Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Character Animator, Adobe After Effects, and Inkscape. I also like to paint traditionally and draw on my iPad Pro with Procreate or Vectornator. Art is a way to express myself and put myself out there since I'm normally a very introverted person. I hope my bubbly personality can shine through and make people feel happy when looking at my art.
I have Hashimoto's, an autoimmune thyroid disease. This is when the immune system attacks the thyroid gland causing damage to the thyroid. This in turn has made my thyroid under active (hypothyroidism). I was diagnosed around 2016 and have since been struggling with trying to feel my best. I'm now gluten free, which has helped me feel a lot better.
The artwork below is called Thyroid Blues and was made based on this autoimmune disease.
