About the Artist

     Here is a little info about me:

     I grew up in Bakersfield, California, and graduated fifth in my class of five-hundred from Bakersfield High school in 2003. I received the Bank of America award for promising artistic performance, after participating in the advanced placement art and animation program.

     I started college at the University of California, Santa Barbara as a double major, art studio and art history, but was not blown away by the studio program, so I just kept the art history major. I graduated in 2007 with a bachelors degree in art history in the top five of my major, and received the thesis paper award for that year, earning a distinction in the major.

     I just moved to Portland this year, and love love love it! My next adventure I think will be going to tattoo school- I'm so excited!

    Other things I love... playing the piano, dogs with squishy faces, anything Disney, cheese, comic books, lord of the rings, nerdy stuff, coffee, tee-shirts, good beer, changing my hair color, cooking, movies, decorating, painting and drawing, and lots of other stuff too:)
