Psychology (minor)
Kate Holland, also known as Phoenix, grew up in a family that appreciated science and math over art. Originally, they were going to go to school for engineering but changed their mind at the last minute to illustration. Their mother, who had gone to school for photography, was the one who encouraged this change. Illustration was definitely the right choice of major for them, and they have not regretted going to art school.
Phoenix holds a strong love for the supernatural, which translates into their work. With their current focus being fantasy, Phoenix puts a great emphasis on line work and texture. Their love and enjoyment of creating small details are apparent in their pieces through diligent linework and repetitive patterns.
