Hi! My name is Ilai (Eye-lay) Wright, and I am from Houma , Lousiana. As a child, my mom would bring home the Sunday newspaper, giving me the comics to recreate. This is when I fell in love with art–specifically still life, realism drawing, and graphic design. I am now pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Studio Art with a concentration in Graphic Design at Louisiana State University. During my time at LSU, I maintained two internships, listed below, and a position in the Public Relations committee in the Eta Kappa chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. Following graduation in Spring 2023, I will pursue a Master's of Arts. I appreciate you stopping by and being a part of this experience!
