About me

Greetings! I'm Hazel, an artist in the American Midwest who specializes in Illustration and Design. I've recently received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree. Currently, I'm developing and expanding upon the city of Proswell, East Caroline and its inhabitants.
Some of my artistic inspirations include animated films (traditional, computer-generated, and stop-motion), the works of Realist artists like Edward Hopper, and, if you couldn't guess, fantasy media of all types.

About Proswell

Proswell is a city in the state of East Caroline. It exists in a world like our own in many ways, but the ways that they differ reveal much. Not only do people order Dr. Salt to wash down their sandwich at lunch, but your coworker walks in with a goose's head on his shoulders and says he just woke up with it.

My BFA show, Snapshots of Proswell, is a series of illustrations depicting moments within a day in Proswell. Each piece serves to introduce either characters or concepts that will be further explored in the future.
