I am a painter, illustrator, and designer based in Newport RI.
I graduated in 2022 from MassArt with a BFA in illustration, but throughout my entire four year degree I struggled with traditional illustration, seemingly not being able to draw from my imagination like my peers. I jokingly described my art style as “shapes and colors”. It wasn’t until after I graduated that I discovered I have Aphantasia, or “the inability to voluntarily visualize mental images.” Or rather, I discovered that others DID have this ability. Now I lovingly embrace the shapes and colors of it all, knowing that vibrant and abstract images and objects are some of my strong points. You don’t have to do traditional illustration to call yourself an illustrator; I make images, that’s all there is to it. Email me for any commissions or inquires.
