Art & Design
I have had the opportunity to work on many different projects using different styles and sources. Using different mediums has given me the chance to explore and test my abilities as an artist. It has also given me the chance to apprentice multiple techniques artists use. To get a better look at the images please click on the image you wish to expand and see the full picture.

Dante's Inferno (2023)
These series of photos are inspired from Dante's nine circles of hell.
Peyton Lange was in charge of designing the sets and creating the props used in the photos. Another key member of this photoshoot was Sarah Dockter who was the photographer and editor. Mackenzie Savin was the subject in the photos. Makeup was done by Emily Weix.
Individual Pieces
Here are some pieces of Art & Design that were not apart of a series or digital art.
Fenced in Flowers (2021)
A composition of flowers, fences, and a hand. Shaded and drawn in pen.
Green Skeleton (2023)
This photo was created in a horror film class. One of the restrictions was finding only elements that were in my house. Thankfully there was a skeleton from past halloweens that I had found. I had vines in my room and flowers that I had left over from another project. I thought that the image looked too clean so I mixed coffee grounds and water to paint them on the bathroom tiles to create an aged effect.
Save Milwaukee Escape Rooms
In the year 2022 Peyton had assisted with Save Milwaukee Escape Rooms to repaint a few clues for their McSnooty's Gallery of Fine Arts. One prop that she had touched up was a painting of a chair. If a person was to sit on a specific chair referenced in the painting, a magnet behind the painting would allow the participants to reveal what was behind it. This item had a wood base and was painted using acrylics. The next items were four cylinders that were scattered through the room once placed in a specific area they would make a noise. Customers did struggle a bit with this puzzle since the noises had to be in a certain order. To make it more clear for the guest these items had an image that corresponds to the sounds. The cylinders have a smooth wood base with acrylic paint. To finish this project off a clear spray sealing was used to help extend the life of these props.

Digital Art
These five pieces were created using Adobe programs. Each piece was focused on using different techniques and styles. This was also an opportunity to play and practice with different ideas to see what my style was in the digital art world.
Wall (2020)
Was created using Adobe Illustrator in a Digital Art class. A open source photo was used as reference then I had picked certain shapes that stood out to me. The colors were chosen from the actual reference image.
Recipe Layout Design (2022)
This piece was also created in a Typography class using Adobe InDesign and Illustrator. I was give a random recipe from Hello Fresh. The idea of this design was to create a cookbook layout page. This piece had many different drafts and layout ideas. Once I found the layout that I liked the next challenge was finding the correct color scheme and illustrations that would not be too distracting. I had decided to use green from the bowl and napkin in the first image and my inspiration for the colors. I really liked the green leaves behind the text and images along with the green "&" in the title. Towards the end I thought it was missing something so I made the decision to add in yellow dots to help separate text sections.
Women in Film (2022)
This piece was inspired by working women in the film industry. It was created using Adobe Illustrator in an Intro to Design class. It was a really fun piece to create and to play around with. There were a few photos used for reference but the main structure was inspired by my own drawing. One portion that I did struggle with was the color scheme of the piece. The original concept was just blue and yellow however after sitting with it for a bit I had decided to add in more colors.
Anna Maria Island (2022)
This piece was created in a Typography class using Adobe Illustrator. We were assigned a location we have not been to and create a font for the place. I had looked up many reference photos and went on google maps to see what kind of signage there was and what kind of typography they had used. For the top portion I decided to go with the beach aspect and created a loose flow vibe. For the island part I went a different direction and was inspired by the narrow shape of the island. For both typography ideas I mixed different fonts and edited them myself to get the final product.
Bark (2020)
This piece was created using the same line technique as the Wall. Using Adobe Illustrator I had used the pen tool to create the perspective of the base of a tree looking up towards the sky. I did play around with the colors and had decided to add in elements of green and blue to the tree base than just a brown scheme,
