Hello! My name is Ava. I am currently a student at Rhode Island School of Design studying Illustration with a concentration in Nature, Culture and Sustainability Studies. 

​

While illustration (both digital and traditional mediums) is my main mode of working, I also have a foot in graphic design, sculpture, photography and writing. I take a lot of my inspiration from natural history and I am driven to create by pure awe of the natural world! I am an avid environmentalist, proud steward of a very small bird and lover of horror, cool rocks and monsters of all shapes and sizes.
