I was absolutely thrilled to pick up my mail this Wednesday because my college alumni magazine, the University of Hartford Observer, came out and I did the cover illustration! One of my professors recommended me for the job and I was so excited for the opportunity. It was definitely a challenge to come up with imagery that would suit the topic of the article and also be visually interesting. I knew there would be a lot more Hartford Art School alumni reading it, so I didn’t want to disappoint! The major turning point for me in this piece was scanning in fabric to make this digital artwork have more texture.

The article was about alumni who work in jobs related to their college degrees for a number of years and then make a dramatic career change.  http://www.hartford.edu/observer/
