Before Fame

She developed a passion for art from a young age and decided to pursue a career in it. She attended SUNY Buffalo and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communication Design.

She began to experiment with Photoshop, where she began manipulating stock images to develop a unique and surreal style. She began sharing her artwork on Instagram in December 2011.

Trivia
