     I am Morgan Wiedebusch and I am graduating in May with a Visual Communications Degree and a track in Illustration. Wheeling, West Virginia is my hometown and I plan to become a tattoo apprentice after I graduate. I enjoy drawing with Posca Paint Pens, and for my senior exhibition I created 10 pieces in a modern psychedelic style.
     My project stemmed from a simple question that I had continued to ask myself which was, "why must I do all art on square canvases?" After asking my professors about how I could do this, a machine called Glowforge was brought up by one of them. The Glowforge is a machine that cuts shapes out of wood and other thin materials using a laser. Even though I had never used this machine before, I got the hang of it fairly quick. 
     I am highly inspired by 3-D art, plants, animals, and insects as well as unworldly factors. I have always been drawn to creating art depicting moths and mushrooms since I was a child.
