  • Mandy Schulien
    Studio and Design Assistant
    My name is Mandy Schulien. I am a 22 year old illustrator and designer from Frederick, Maryland. I moved to Cleveland in 2020 to attend the Cleveland Institute of Art, and graduated with an Illustration degree in 2024. While in attendance, I experimented with printmaking and found a love for screen printing. I enjoy multimedia projects that involve both digital and traditionally created elements. I am heavily inspired by flowers, family, and community. You will see those themes incorporated into most of my work. As my artistic journey continues past college, I hope to continue to learn from my fellow artists and become further immersed in the wonderful Cleveland community.
