Born in August of 1986, I graduated from the Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design with a
major
in illustration in April, 2008. Since then I have moved from my home state of Colorado to West
Virginia,
to
live with my now husband and two step children.
I currently work as a free lance artist
and get
a lot of
support from the local businesses, who love the local art scene and strive to encourage
other small
business
owners.
I have always enjoyed painting fantasy, but also have a strong interest in nature that has been
growing
over the years. My art has been evolving to be more
centered around nature, animals, plants,
and concept.
I still try to retain an element of fantasy in my work,
as I am strongly influenced by the
fanciful and unusual.
As an author I found my voice while trying to write a story as a personal exercise. The amount of
support
I got for this was phenomenal, and the project ended
up turning into "The Lord of Shadows"
series.
This was my first delve into the writing scene, and I have only gone deeper since. I have
several
more
stories in the
works, along with a continuation of "The Lord of Shadows" Series,
beyond the first three
books.
My personal goals are to find my voice as both an Author and an Artist, and combine those two
worlds into something even greater. |
