If you clicked on this page, you’re probably trying to figure out who I am. So let me just start this out by giving a little disclaimer here — I’m introverted, anxious, socially awkward, and truly despise talking about myself. I’d much rather let my artwork speak for me and live in the shadows of anonymity like Banksy. But I also understand the necessity of connecting beyond the art itself, so here we are, with me reluctantly pulling back the curtain just enough while fighting the urge to delete this entire page and replace it with “I make art” beneath the ‘HANG IN THERE’ cat meme.
Hey, I’m Aimie!
But you probably already figured that part out since my name is at the top of my site… Here’s what you might not know — I’m a mid-millennial artist who lives comfortably somewhere between the traditional and digital art world, often combining the two.
Digital Art
Traditional Art
Inspired By Nature
Before settling down in the Chicago area in 2020 (a year when absolutely nothing else of note happened), I lived all over the east coast and midwest. From state to state, one thing always remained constant — my deep desire to immerse myself in the beauty of nature, from the mountains, woods, and beaches of Virginia to the sand dunes of Savannah, Georgia.
It’s no surprise, then, that my work is also heavily rooted and inspired by nature. There’s no plant, animal, fungi, or landscape that I don’t want to commit to memory forever with the stroke of a paint brush or Apple Pencil.
My Art Style
I love experimenting and trying new things, so it’s highly unlikely that I will ever choose a particular art style or settle on one (or even just a few) mediums. Almost all of my traditional work is mixed media, combining watercolor, gouache, alcohol markers, colored pencil, and ink, along with anything else I decide to invite to the party.
