CRYSTAL'S INTRODUCTION:
I am an alum of Tompkins Cortland CC's Graphic Design program and I earned a BFA from SUNY Cortland Art and Art History Department in New Media. I also have an MFA from Academy of Art University in Motion Picture and Television with a concentration in Production Design. I work as as an artist at Living Illusion Studio in Cortland, NY. I am a public art advocate and am on the committee for The Crown City Arts project, part of the DRI grant in the City of Cortland. I was awarded a grant in 2018 from CNY Arts Decentralized Grant for Individual Artists and began the Cortland Corset Building Mural. I enjoy working with students and helping you fulfill your goals.
