Kailey first got into drawing back in middle school when she watched an anime called Naruto. Fascinated by the animation style she taught herself how to mimic it, especially her favorite manga artists Miura, Ji-Hyung Song, Kubo, and Kishimoto. After a time people that she knew would ask her to tutor them in the anime style, which she found to be very fun and interactive. Kailey's mother, seeing her daughter doing so well (in both tutoring and independently) decided to buy her a drawing tablet (her first one!) so that she could continue to better herself. Although she learned very quickly, Kailey soon realized that she could only learn so much on her own and really wanted to learn how to branch out and draw other styles. That was when she signed up for the New Hampshire Institute of Art where she now majors in Illustration and minors in Graphic Novel. Because of her schooling, Kailey has become rather proficient in using acrylic, watercolor, and gauche as well as various dry medias (though being particularly fond of graphite, charcoal, and acrylic). She loves bold, bright colors and extreme shading; she still incorporates this into her anime style as well as some new styles she picked up along the way.
