About Me

I am a multimedia illustrator and designer with a keen interest in science and natural history. When I was young, I focused on drawing and painting from life and developed sharp observation skills to make representational works.

I continued art studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. It was in college that I discovered science illustration as a career. I took science illustration classes at the Field Museum in Chicago and was fascinated by the collections of dead animals; whether they are skins, rocks, or in jars. After graduating, I moved to Boston and started volunteering at the Harvard Museum of Natural History. I engaged with the public and developed science communication skills while learning from passionate and knowledgeable museum educators. 

I later studied at California State University Monterey Bay in the science illustration graduate program and received formal training in this field. After graduating, I am now a freelance artist working on various sci-art related projects.
