ABOUT OUR Graduate Program Students

Originally from Memphis, TN, Bricelyn started her undergraduate degree at Loyola University New Orleans, but transferred to the University of Georgia, where she graduated with a BFA in Scientific Illustration. After taking some time to work as a freelance illustrator, painter, and art educator, Bricelyn decided to continue her education in science and medical based art. She hopes to do as much traveling, flyfishing, cooking/eating, and sleeping as possible whenever she has free time.

"Being able to be a part of this program and working with such distinguished faculty at an institution like Hopkins has been an invaluable experience."
