Rose Humphries
I am a freshman at the Cleveland Institute of Art, which means that I have been experimenting with a lot of different mediums. Before starting school, I hadn’t experimented very much with 3D design, and now I am drawing up plans for puppets and miniature stage sets. I currently work mostly with graphite, ink, and charcoal, but I am looking forward to developing my skills as a painter. In the future, I would love to illustrate books and work on collections centered around my own narratives.
