A Stargazing Artist

Whimsical multidisciplinary artist with a love for space and weather.

I'm an artist of multiple disciplines, primarily inspired by weather and space. I hold a BFA from the University of Missouri, with minors in Art History and Photographic Studies. I’ve worked in teaching settings, as well as a rock climbing instructor for a year. Currently, I teach digital design and illustrations at a college to young adults, and during the summer I teach art to young children (3-6 y.o.), blending my passion for creativity with education.

With a foundation in fine arts, I started with traditional painting and oil pastels before going into realm of digital illustration. I approach my art with a minimalist touch and thoughtful color palettes. I am also inspired by a blend of Wes Anderson films, Tara McPherson’s art, pop surrealism, and children’s book. I have an extreme fascination with infographics, lists, and data—and I enjoy demonstrating that creativity can thrive within these elements or be expressed through them as an art form. I consider myself as an indie surrealistic artist.

When I'm not crafting away, you'll likely find me rock climbing, cooking, or enjoying the great outdoors. My artwork often mirrors my love for dreamy clouds and "sky stuff". I enjoy guitar, baking, reality TV (maybe one day I'll apply to be on the Amazing Race), and a variety of creative projects. Moon&June Studio is my way of sharing my creations to the world. You could say I'm a jack of many trade, and a master of...some?
