Artist Profile

I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio; I went to Dayton Public Schools and studied Visual Communication Design at the University of Dayton. I also got some skills as an intern at the school of Real Art before I was legal to drink. I haven't traveled far but I'd like to think I've learned a lot.

I'm married to Jason Dennis, and we have three pets/kids—Albus Beau Gator (the dog), Wesley Wyndam Snips and Shimmy Belle Forks (the cats). I am also fluent in Whedonverse and am a prolific sneezer.

When I’m not working as a print designer at Real Art or making goods for Real Mart, I’m making things for my friends and family--invites/announcements, CD mixes, t-shirts, aprons and purses. I also love to draw, listen to music and podcasts and take joy rides to small cities with my husband and my mom.
