animator. illustrator. instructor. mentor. photographer.


Hello, my name is Aubrey. I enjoy sharing my creative curiosity with people of all ages and backgrounds. My art is playful, as well as mischievous when needed.
I am a multi-media artist teacher and mentor. My specialty is mixing art and technology together to tell visual stories.
Besides fighting injustice in the world and supporting the "sinister multicultural agenda," I share my knowledge of art with the Kalamazoo Community, as well as creating my own art that is filled with hope and whimsy.
