My name is Rylee Cassel and I'm a game artist and art educator. I love making art as well as teaching it! Seeing people's faces light up when they are touched by a work of art or are proud of a piece they've made is what makes me love what I do. Art teaches you so much, a lot more than just how to draw or paint. I want to teach artists how they can use their imagination and skills to create unique worlds and build intriguing narratives. If my students find happiness in their art, then I've done what I've set out to do!

I think that you can learn a lot about an artist based on what they draw. Sometimes you don’t need words to understand a person. I’ve lost track of how many sketchbooks I own - you tend to lose count when the answer to “what do you want for your birthday?” is always “a sketchbook!” Growing up playing the PlayStation, I became enamored with fictional characters and fell in love with them. These fuzzy and scaly creatures became my heroes, and soon they filled my sketchbooks, alongside the drawings of my favorite stuffed animals and family pets. Many birthdays and many drawings later, I look through my sketchbooks and am able to see the kind of person I am. As a kid, I drew what I loved, and I continued to do so as an adult. These sketchbooks show a record of my life, and hold dear all of the things that make me who I am today.
