about me
Daphne Hsu aka ShoeBug
Having struggled with recognizing and feeling my own emotions throughout my life, I have always admired the ability art and stories have in evoking feelings. I grew up solely on traditional art and studied impressionistic painting and ceramics throughout my childhood, but it was only when I began to create time and story based art that I truly felt a connection with my work and felt the ability to express myself through it.
In my work, I try to share my own personal feelings, both the positive and the negative, showcasing them in ways in which I hope other people can connect to as well. I wish my work to touch and help people be in-tune to themselves the way that others have done for me.
I graduated as a Digital Arts major from Pratt Institute with an emphasis in 2D Animation and a minor in Literature and Writing May 2024.
On my free time I enjoy knitting, reading books, and baking. These allow me to take a break from the digital world in which my work is based in, and most importantly, they allow me to feel the present.
