Each featured young woman was asked this same question:
Imagine you've just traveled through time, and you find yourself in the year 2028. Where are you, and what are you doing?
As an artist, I am constantly evolving, so with every piece that is completed, I am introduced to a new version of myself and my artistic ability. In 10 years, I hope to see my work in a way I never felt imaginable. My interests in the illustration industry include books, comics and editorial work to apparel, murals, and tattoo design. I hope to continue to push myself in all directions of creative expression. My dream is to be a professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology.
