Map to Once Upon a Time...

From 2010 - 2012, I was part of the BFA : Electronic Arts program at CSU, Chico. For advanced digital artists, each semester had a theme which artists could then make their own. The theme in this showcase are "maps" and "once upon a time." Within the framework of these themes, I explored new painting techniques and explored world building in favorite fairy tales as well as stories of my own. All work was painted in Adobe Photoshop, or in Adobe Illustrator with a Wacom tablet.
