Why hello there!  I'm a non-binary queer artist who loves animals and monsters! I bring a sense of whimsy to all my work, whether it be cute and soft or dark and scary. I work in a wide variety of mediums and am always hungry to expand my knowledge base even more! I love experimenting across mediums as well, all the places where different sectors of art overlap is the my favorite place to be (just use this technique from over here, marry these two types together, etc).

I have a background in  biology and long time interest in history/mythology and both absolutely inform how I approach art! 

Currently my favorite mediums are inks, watercolors, digital and ceramics!  I also have experience in animation, technical art, sequential art, concept art, costuming, sculptural (both digital and traditional) and design. You can visit coolbyproxy.com for more of my costuming work!

pronunciation guide: fen-ix (like the fox, not the bird, fen rhymes with "when" and then you add the "ix")
pronouns: they/them is best/preferred

when not doing art or art related things (tho it is more a lifestyle than just a job really), I enjoy reading, baking/cooking, listening/dancing to music, ttrpgs/video games, walking/hiking, playing/cuddling with my two silly cats, being an emotional support human to my very elderly dog, hanging with my partner, and being a chaos gremlin :)

 

Note (dec 2024): I am currently working on updating my site so some parts are still under construction! Hopefully I'll get it all in working order soon (and the store updated and available). 

If you're interested in seeing more of my work (and/or getting monthly print packages of my latest pieces), the best way to support me is through my patreon!
