I'm Lauren, a.k.a. jazzmoth, and I'm a PhD student in linguistics and cognitive science. While I'm taking a break from writing my dissertation (or, more often, procrastinating), I like playing around in digital and traditional arts. Lately, I've been learning how to use a tablet for digital painting, but I feel more comfortable with a pencil and paper. This is all a great big experiment for me, but in a lot of ways, that's what art is for: exploration.
