A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Bio
I am an artist and designer skilled in traditional and digital media. I earned a BFA in Illustrative Design from the Rocky Mountain College of Art+Design (RMCAD) in 2024. I also have a BA in Psychology and completed graduate work in Educational Psychology.
I am a member of the Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators.
ABOUT MY PROCESS
Work
I create whimsical, youthful, bold illustrations and designs with retro cartoonish flair.
I exhibited work at the Arvada Center and 40West Arts District. I also exhibited work for two consecutive years in the RMCAD Student Exhibition galleries, open to the public.
I am the owner and creator of Eppie Peppercorn Designs LLC. I make handmade dolls that combine my skills in illustration, digital art, toy design, and sewing.
Background
In addition to being an artist, I am a former preschool teacher and children's librarian. I designed curriculum for children's library programs that were used at multiple libraries in El Paso County, CO. My curriculum design experience is backed by graduate coursework completed in Educational Psychology & Human Development at UC Denver. I also have a strong analytical and technical background from three years of education at the Colorado School of Mines, where I was studying physics.
