Hello! My name is Madison Ruddell, and I recently graduated from the University of West Florida where I earned a BFA in Graphic Design. Go Argos! I am an avid graphic designer and illustrator. I have loved to create art since I was a child, no matter the medium. I look to the world around me for inspiration. One thing which influenced me was swimming. Starting in my childhood and continuing throughout high school, I spent a lot of time in the water for sport and because I enjoy the water. I get my best ideas when I am in the water. The most inspiring thing about water is its endless possibilities. I find the same thing while illustrating digitally. Digital formats allow the artist freedom in each brushstroke, and leaves room for users to change their mind or choose another medium. Alongside swimming and illustrating, I love to listen to music, take care of my plants, explore nature, and watch the next best show.
