WESLEY is a talented photographer (and videographer) with a gift for capturing extraordinary beauty in everyday moments. Discovering photography through his iPhone 6 two years ago sparked a passion for creating visual art through photography and video and tapped into Wesley's artistic spirit. He's since picked up dedicated still & video cameras and is driven to develop his skills.
A senior architectural engineering student at Indiana State University, Wesley has used his creative talent as a student worker with ISU's Marketing & Communications office, CANDLES Holocaust Museum and the Arts Illiana gallery.
Outside of his studies and visual arts, Wesley enjoys listening to jazz & Lo-Fi Hip Hop, spending time with his cat & two dogs and playing PC Minecraft.
OLLIE is a skilled artist & amateur filmmaker, honing her skills in a wide range of mediums. From ink and watercolor drawings and designs to photography and music videos, Ollie has a wide range of creative outlets (including acting!). One of five kids, she's been involved in Terre Haute's community theater scene since she was 12.
She plans to pursue a media major and serve time in the Peace Corps once she earns her degree, eyeing a career in film & television.
Both Wesley and Ollie grew up in Terre Haute and know the community well.
