Digital Arts BFA Thesis
As a BFA in Digital Arts student at Bowling Green State University, I created a series of digital paintings and an installation for my BFA Thesis Celebrating Womanhood. With this body of work, I seek to address and uplift the importance of women supporting women. This means celebrating what it means to be a woman and to align with femininity in a community. These connections are a part of all the beautiful ways that women love and support each other as friends, mothers, leaders, lovers, and more.
To do so, I started by sending out a survey to women with questions about womanhood. Most of the works reference these responses, and the display allowed visitors to add their stories as well.

Wetland Landscape (2024)
To explore textures and light, I created this wetland landscape digital painting featuring wildlife and nature. While the painting started as a lower contrast, more Impressionistic piece, I enjoyed letting changes occur as I tried different ways to improve the painting.
Studying Art in Japan
Stillness in Japan (2023)
In Summer 2023, I had the opportunity to study art in Japan through BGSU.
Whilst there, I was struck by gorgeous pockets of flourishing green and worship even in urban areas, so I drew this thinking of still respite in busy Japanese life and their respect for tradition, nature, and quietness.
