Hello!
Welcome! I am Nova, an Illustrator, Crafter, Arts Advocate & Educator from NE Ohio. I received my BFA in Illustration, with additional concentrations in Art Education, Design, & Creative Writing from the Cleveland Institute of Art. Currently working towards a MA of Arts Administration from the University of Akron. As an Arts Administrator I strive to make the local art ecosystem inclusive, accessible, and equitable for all.
​
My Illustration brand, Star Catcher Studio, explores fantastical concepts through a storybook aesthetic. Through the various other multimedia approaches to art I explore, my work strives to spark joy through color and whimsy, evoke empathy with thoughtful musings, and seek a sense of catharsis through the art making process. I invite you to enter my world and learn more about me and my work.
I volunteer run StarFall Creative Collective alongside Ashleigh Byrer, with the goal of supporting local artists, connecting the art community, and sharing resources. Learn more about what we do: ​
