I think the best way for me to get inspiration was to go outside or go on a hike. The place that I went to get my inspiration is right outside Cortland and there was this perfect spot to illustrate the poster. I enjoy doing outdoor activities like hiking and rock climbing. I personally identify myself as the girl in the poster. I use a lot of female characters in my artwork to show diversity. I also wanted to illustrate local nature scenery, as you might see at Green Lakes or Clark Reservation. The forest represents closeness to home because it is a safe place, and the surrounding woods portray the magic of nature. I personally chose the poem because it really hits home and it has this outdoorsy vibe glowing from it.
