I am a sophomore Muse double majoring in Studio Art and Art History. Additionally, I am completing the Art Leadership and Management Certificate program. I love making art, specifically digital illustrations on my iPad Air. Artists that inspire me are Aya Takano and Holly Warburton from their use of color which inspire me to explore color in my work.

I am a sophomore Muse majoring in Psychology with a concentration in Development Psychology and pursuing a certificate in Arts Management. Despite not being an art major, my art medium is producing music. (That’s why I’m still a Muse). Other than that, I like to read everything from research papers to light novels. On top of that, I love to explore and food a lot so one day I hope to explore the world so I can eat tons of food and read a lot about new cultures.
