I have wanted to be an illustrator for as long as I can remember.In 2004 I attended the Ringling College of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL. I graduated in 2008 with a BFA in illustration and a minor in business. During the summers of 2008 and 2009 I went to the Illustration Academy under the Work Study Scholarship.I have since moved back to Chicago, and am currently living in the city with my boyfriend, Andrew R. Wright, who is also and illustrator, and our black cat Violet Oakley.
