About Me
I am currently attending the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) as a first-year undergraduate student. In high school, I attended the Visual Arts Center (VAC) in Albert Einstein High School for four years.
​
I have a special interest in textiles, but I also enjoy working with a variety of other materials, including paint, charcoal, and chalk pastel. I am currently in the first year Experimental and Foundations Study program at RISD, so I have the opportunity to explore a wide variety of ways to make art, all of which are very exciting.
Along with art, I am interested in birdwatching, rollerblading, making zines, and playing Dungeons and Dragons with my friends and little sister.​​
