Publications and Awards

During the Spring of 2021, nine Ringling students and I had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with the Smithsonian American Art Museum. We each illustrated a biographical comic about the life of a woman artist. My comic is about Maria Oakey Dewing, a Victorian era floral painter. These comics are now available to read for free on the Smithsonian website. Articles about the project were released on various media platforms, such as the Smithsonian Magazine website and The Sarasota Herald Tribune.

My illustration was awarded 2nd place in the 2021 Calpico Package Design Contest

During the Fall of 2020, I created a comic about my dog, Milo, for the annual anthology.

My oil painting "Dusk" was featured in the physical copy of Ringling's annual literary anthology.

During the Fall of 2021, I created an original comic and cover illustration for Ringling's annual anthology, "Meanwhile." For this project, I independently wrote a script, designed characters, laid out the comic panels, sketched, inked, and colored a two page comic. The anthology was then printed and distributed as promotional material for the school.

Each year, the CGC hosts a sketch cover competition for students who have participated in the Meanwhile anthology. I was awarded first place for my pen and ink illustration, and had my original cover design officially graded and encapsulated. The CGC also released an article on their website about my accomplishment.

During the Fall of 2019, I was chosen to create an illustration for Ringling's annual student-made card deck. I illustrated the Queen of Diamonds. The card deck was then produced and distributed as promotional material for the school.
