Welcome!

Dear viewer,

Hello! My name is Mia! I am currently a junior at Rhode Island School of Design, studying illustration with a concentration in NCSS (Nature–Culture–Sustainability Studies).

Art and design has always had significant value in my life, and I truly believe that art greatly influences how people live and experience life, no matter how big or small. I first discovered my passion for art when my parents complimented the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day cards I drew for them (and yes, they may have just been doing their duty as encouraging parents, but my little heart took it with rigor!). This encouragement inspired me to develop my skills further through studio classes and A LOT of self practice. However, for the longest time I was hesitant and a little fearful to put my art out there for the world to judge. But when I finally mustered up the courage to do so, I realised … it really wasn’t so bad! In fact, being able to share my art and my stories with people ended up being what made me come to love art even more! I think my art journey is based on a love of making and creating things, and thinking it would be nice to share it with the lovely people of this world, including my dear mom and dad. ;)

I am also a sparkle enthusiast ✧ . ݁₊ ⊹ and in my free time I enjoy crocheting, sewing, dancing, and playing the ukulele!
