Little bit about me

My name is Rachel Baeder. I am a junior studying at University of Tampa. I'm from Tampa and have lived here my entire life. I love Florida, though sometimes I do miss having changes in seasons and a terrain that isn't flat as far as the eye can see. But there is something wonderful about being able to go to the beach during winter and stick your feet in the water. I am a studio art major with a concentration in painting. I have always had a fascination with art; my grandfather was an oil painter and he really sparked my interest in art at a young age. When I was little I would draw on anything and everything I could get a hold of! Painting is something that I love to do and I'm so lucky that I get to study it everyday. I'm not sure quite yet what I want to do with my art degree, maybe teach or work in a gallery.                                                                                                                                                    I work mostly with paints and pencils so I hope that Beginning Digital Design will help me learn how to work digitally. I am also excited to learn Photoshop and Illustrator!
