Psitta Lux is the second incarnation of my online portfolio. The previous one was Agent Lovebird, which ran from 2006 to early 2009. Psitta Lux is sorta kinda real Latin for "parrot of Light." This website layout focuses on parrots, but I do like birds in general. The purpose of this website is to provide a place to showcase my work, provide tutorials for art and design, and share stuff online.

I am a sophomore at the College of William and Mary, undeclared, but most likely going into Literary & Cultural Studies or English, with a minor in Art or Psychology. I have many diverse interests! I am the Director of Publicity for the Pet & Animal Welfare Society, the Vice President of Membership for the Student Marketing Association, an employee of the Fund for William and Mary, and a style writer for the school magazine.

I have been drawing, painting, and writing all my life, and I made my first website in fifth grade. The first websites were "adoption agencies," where people could save images of animals I drew to display on their own website. Now, I still enjoy drawing animals, but the artwork is much better quality. I specialize in pen and ink, colored pencils, and watercolor. I love to make crisp outlines filled in with bold colors and most of my artwork reflects this aesthetic. I am still trying to find my own style though, so I try new styles frequently.

Though art will most likely never be a primary career choice for me, I will always continue to draw and paint. I hope to eventually find my niche and maybe sell my artwork or exhibit it in galleries.
