Hello! I am an illustrator and maker finding my way in Chicago. I graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration and a concentration in Theory and History of Art and Design. I was fortunate to study Costume and Performance Design at Arts University Bournemouth.
My work is informed by a childhood spent in the theatre and inspired by the universal themes that connect our stories, no matter how nuanced they may be. Working both traditionally and digitally, in 2D and 3D, I freelance for illustration, books, music artists, theatre, custom design, and fabrication projects. A graduate of Second City’s Improv Program, I continue to perform around Chicago embracing the multifaceted ways that character and scene work inspire my narrative projects taking shape in the studio.
For Illustration, Puppet, Custom Apparel, or other inquiries, please reach out! For commissions, Penny Portraits are always open.
say hi!
