I'm a 25 year old artist & amateur historian interested in illustration, the American Arts & Crafts Movement, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and any other niche interest I find myself chasing down the rabbit hole. When I'm not writing articles, I'm uploading images of 20th-century art from online museum collections to Wikimedia Commons & connecting them to their creators.
