Rett Kaufman is currently a student at the University of Cincinnati DAAP program and is projected to graduate in 2027 with their BFA in Fine Arts. She lives in Milford, OH and works in Cincinnati, OH. Rett is primarily an illustrator that focuses on concept art, but loves a breath of artistic mediums. She strives to bring a history to a world or character through her informed designs. By weaving elements of symbology, a deep knowledge of color theory and shape language her artwork tells a clear narrative.  In 2021 Rett Kaufman earned the Second Place RAC Taft Award, and was a part of the Haunted Art Exhibit in 2023 alongside her DAAP contemporaries.
