Kayleigh Nesson

Thesis Project

I have always enjoyed making cute little animal characters. I was always interested in sharing my work with others. It was not until I started participating in fairs and festivals that I realized that is what I wanted to do after graduation. It brings me great joy to see how my characters bring forth positive emotions in people. I take inspiration from animals, real or mythological, and I make them appealing to all ages.
